Galasso suspended for two weeks

Castres' Alession Galasso, sent off in the Heineken Cup Pool 4 match against Munster at Thomond Park last Saturday, has been suspended for two weeks.

The prop can consider himself unlucky. There were any number of layers that could have been picked out for punching in a rough and tumble encounter that was no place for the faint of heart.

Galasso was sent off by English referee Roy Maybank in the 67th minute and was suspended for two weeks following a disciplinary hearing conducted by match commissioner Ciaran Callan.
