The disciplinary committee determined that the mid-range entry point of a six week/match suspension was appropriate for Ntamack’s foul play.
After taking into account his guilty plea and previous disciplinary record, that punishment was reduced by 50%.
Ntamack was making his first international appearance for more than a year against Wales.
A serious knee injury caused the Toulouse star to miss a home Rugby World Cup in 2023 and last year’s Six Nations, while he did not feature in his country’s autumn internationals because of a calf problem.
After Saturday’s game at Twickenham, France’s remaining Six Nations fixtures are against Italy (23 February), Ireland (8 March) and Scotland (15 March).
