Former All Black George Moala will miss all of Tonga’s World Cup pool matches at the Rugby World Cup in France next month.
World Rugby has announced that Moala will have to sit out five matches after being red-carded for a spear tackle in the ‘Ikale Tahi’s first test match against Canada in Nuku’alofa on August 10.
It comes after England’s Owen Farrell had his red card rescinded for a similar offence against Wales leading to anger among many players and commentators.
The disciplinary committee felt the offence warranted a sanction of 10 matches but reduced this to five.
