Danny Southworth signed for Cardiff from Exeter
- Published
Cardiff prop Danny Southworth has been given a three-match ban for being sent off against Stormers in the final United Rugby Championship (URC) game of the season.
Southworth, 26, was shown a 29th-minute red card for a dangerous tackle by Italian referee Gianluca Gnecchi during Cardiff's 34-24 defeat in Cape Town on 16 May.
The prop will have his ban reduced by a week if he completes World Rugby's coaching intervention programme.
With Cardiff's season having finished after they failed to reach the URC play-offs, the games Southworth will miss will be confirmed at a later date.
