Sila Puafisi

‘Ikale Tahi and Glasgow Warriors prop Sila Puafisi was handed a harsh three match suspension for a ‘flying head butt’ on scrumhalf Kieran Marmion of Irish Club Connacht.

The incident occurred in a match between the Glasgow Warriors and Connacht earlier this month. Sila was red carded in the 50th minute of the match after throwing himself headfirst into Kieran. Connacht went on to win the match by 14 points to 7.

 Sila plays for Scottish club Glasgow Warriors in the Guinness Pro12 tournament, a competition comprising teams from Wales, Ireland, Scotland and Italy. Sila will miss out on a semi-final match this weekend and the Pro12 Grand Final next week on May 28.
