Gatland seeks fines for yellow cards

Wales coach Warren Gatland has revealed he suggested imposing fines of up to £30,000 for players who receive needless yellow cards.

Wales will be without lock Bradley Davies for the remainder of the RBS 6 Nations after he was handed a seven-week ban in the wake of the tip tackle that saw him sin-binned in Sunday’s 23-21 success over Ireland in Dublin, while captain Sam Warburton saw red for a similar tackle in the World Cup semi-final defeat to France.
