France lock Willemse to miss two Six Nations matches.

The French lock, Paul Willemse, will be missing France's upcoming Six Nations matches against Scotland and Italy due to a four-week suspension. This suspension follows Willemse's red card in the match against Ireland, in which he received two yellow cards for high tackles, one on Caelan Doris and the other on Andrew Porter. The independent disciplinary committee deemed the actions to be "disproportionate" in terms of consecutive bans and adjusted the suspension accordingly. Willemse can return to play after the suspension if he completes "tackle school."
