Gilchrist out of Six Nations after three-game ban

Scotland's Grant Gilchrist will miss the rest of the Six Nations after being banned for three weeks for his red card against France.

The ban has been reduced from six weeks to three after Gilchrist admitted his mistake and because of a lack of intent.

The Edinburgh lock will miss Scotland's matches against Ireland and Italy.

The final game of his suspension will cover Edinburgh's trip to face Connacht in the United Rugby Championship on 25 March.

France prop Mohamed Haouas has already been banned for four weeks for a head-on-head clear out in the same game, for which he was also sent off.
