The decision was referred to the bunker, where the card was upgraded to a 20-minute red card. <\/p>\n<p>Following a hearing this week, an independent disciplinary committee decided to withhold the red card, with an entry point of a six-match ban. However, as Adams accepted he had committed an act of foul play, his ban was halved to three matches. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Cardiff wing can have his ban reduced by another week should he take part in World Rugby\u2019s Coaching Intervention Programme. <\/p>\n<p>Adams will therefore only miss the contest with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/new-zealand\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">All Blacks<\/a> this weekend, and the clash with world champions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/south-africa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">South Africa<\/a> the following week. <\/p>\n<p>A statement reads: \u201cWales number 11, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/players\/josh-adams\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Josh Adams<\/a>, appeared before an independent Disciplinary Committee this afternoon via video link having received a red card for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.11 in the match between Wales and Japan on Saturday 15 November 2025. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe independent Disciplinary Committee was chaired by Jeremy Summers (England), joined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/players\/stefan-terblanche\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stefan Terblanche<\/a> (South Africa) and Val Toma (Romania)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Disciplinary Committee has upheld the red card issued to the player and by applying World Rugby\u2019s sanctioning provisions, have determined that the mid-range entry point of six weeks\/matches was appropriate. In light of the player accepting he committed an act of foul play as well as other mitigating factors, they have applied the maximum 50% reduction in sanction, thus reducing the final sanction to three weeks\/matches.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wales wing Josh Adams has been banned for three matches following his 20-minute red card against Japan on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-270642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
