- Published
Ellis Jenkins' red card against Scarlets was the first of his professional rugby career
Cardiff and Wales flanker Ellis Jenkins has been banned for three games after being sent off for a dangerous tackle against Scarlets.
Jenkins lifted Dan Davis into a horizontal position before Davis' upper body made contact with the ground.
It resulted in a 27th minute red card, with Scarlets going on to win the derby 29-23 at Cardiff Arms Park.
Jenkins will miss Champions Cup games against Toulouse and Bath, plus the Boxing Day derby against Dragons.
Lions lock Ruben Schoeman has also been given a three-match ban for making contact with the head of Dragons wing Ashton Hewitt after a badly-timed charge down.
He was shown a 25th-minute red card during Dragons' 49-24 loss in Johannesburg.
