France out-half Ntamack to learn Six Nations fate on Wednesday

The Toulouse man is in danger of missing the clash with Ireland.

FRANCE OUT-HALF Romain Ntamack will face an independent disciplinary hearing on Wednesday morning following his 20-minute red card for a dangerous high tackle during his side’s big win over Wales on Friday.

The Toulouse man was sent off for a hit on Wales counterpart Ben Thomas and faces an anxious wait to learn what kind of ban he faces.

France take on England at Twickenham this weekend before a visit to Italy in round three and the much-anticipated clash with Ireland in Dublin in the fourth round of the championship.
