Wales star Thomas is hit with a three-match ban
Western Mail
|October 02, 2025
WALES star Ben Thomas has been suspended for three games after receiving a red card in Cardiff's victory over the Lions in the opening round of the United Rugby Championship last weekend.
Thomas was shown a yellow card - which was eventually upgraded to a red - by referee Filippo Russo for making direct contact with the head of a Lions player after charging into a ruck.
If Thomas (pictured) completes the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme then the sanction will be reduced by one week.
The 26-year-old will definitely miss Cardiff's trip to Munster this weekend along with the home clash against Connacht on October 11.
Should be complete the programme he will return for the Welsh derby against the Dragons at Rodney Parade on October 17.
