Six-Week Suspension for Sale Hooker Jibulu Following Biting Incident

Nathan Jibulu, a 23-year-old Sale Sharks player, has been handed a six-week suspension for biting Harlequins player Will Hobson during their recent Champions Cup match. The incident took place in the 69th minute of the game, which Sale won 26-17. Although Jibulu could have faced a 12-week ban, his penalty was reduced due to his guilty plea and expression of regret.
