Tom Dunn suspended for four weeks
- 1184
Tom Dunn appeared before an online independent disciplinary panel last night (Tuesday 11 May 2021) following a dangerous tackle, contrary to World Rugby Law 9.13, during Saturday’s fixture against Bristol Bears.
Tom accepted the charge and was given a four-week suspension. He is free to play again on 15 June 2021
Independent disciplinary panel statement - Tom Dunn hearing: “The Panel was satisfied that the player's intention was to try and prevent the offload rather than to make contact with the head of the Bristol player. In those circumstances there were no factors to warrant a top end entry point therefore the mandatory minimum entry point applied.
"The player was not entitled to full mitigation due to a recent red card and so the Panel deducted 2 weeks on account of his guilty plea, remorse and positive engagement in the process.”
Tom Dunn misses the following Gallagher Premiership Rugby matches:
- 14 May: Bath Rugby v Sale Sharks
- 29 May: Harlequins v Bath Rugby
- 5 June: Gloucester Rugby v Bath Rugby
- 12 June: Bath Rugby v Northampton Saint
