Wasps No.8 Nathan Hughes hit with three-week ban

Nathan Hughes has been hit with a three-week ban for his hit on George North in last Friday’s Premiership clash with Northampton.
The Wasps No.8, was sent off for his reckless actions which left the Welsh winger concussed, pleaded not guilty while his club today announced they are considering their options after receiving the full written judgement.
As it stands, Hughes will be free to play again on April 28.
Sir James Dingemans said: “This was a three week ban on the basis that no intention was found. However, there was recklessness meaning that, notwithstanding the harm, it was a low entry point of four weeks with mitigation of one week to reflect his previous clean playing record.”
