Mitigating circumstances (player’s apology, guilty plea and good behavior at hearing) were applied. Six-week entry period up to two weeks. However, an extra week was added for extenuating circumstances (disciplinary record of the player), resulting in suspension of play for five weeks.” cites a press release from Six Nations Rugby.
