Apisai Naqalevu knows his punishment. According to information from The Independent the Fijian center three-quarter from Perpignan, guilty of a very dangerous attempted tackle on French international Nicolas Depoortère on October 12 against UBB, was suspended for six weeks by the disciplinary committee of the National League of Rugby (LNR).
“Everyone has seen the images, it’s an attack! This is not a game fact. It is incomprehensible. We talk about player safety from morning to night, and that’s very good, we also know that it’s a combat sport, we know that there are risks but frankly, it’s indefensible. He just had to tackle him to push him into touch and instead he did nothing to make a tackle. He just ran into him to hurt”Depoortère’s father reacted on the airwaves of France Blue Gironde .
