Duncan Weir: Glasgow Warriors fly-half given three-game ban after Ospreys clash
- Published
Duncan Weir kicked 11 points for Glasgow Warriors in Swansea despite his yellow card
Glasgow Warriors fly-half Duncan Weir has been suspended for three matches after being cited for a high tackle during last Friday's win over Ospreys.
The 32-year-old was shown a yellow card in Swansea for his challenge on Keiran Williams that forced the try-scoring centre to be substituted following the clash of heads.
Weir, who was making his first start of the season, will have his sanction reduced by one match if he completes the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme.
The back, capped 30 times for Scotland, contributed 11 points with his boot to Glasgow's 31-23 victory in Wales.
However, he will now miss Saturday's visit by Benetton in the United Rugby Championship and at least one more match thereafter.
Scrum-half Jamie Dobie is also unavailable after undergoing surgery on an ankle injury picked up during the defeat of Ospreys.
Dobie's start - and injury - in Wales came as Scotland number nine Ali Price was allowed to leave on a season-long loan to Edinburgh in order to gain more game time.
