Ofa Tuungafasi's 2020 season is officially over, with the All Blacks prop handed a three-week ban for his red card offence last Saturday.

A SANZAAR judicial hearing found Tuungafasi guilty of contravening the law which states "a player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously".

Tuungafasi broke the law with his high contact on Wallabies winger Tom Wright in the first half of the All Blacks' 24-22 loss in Brisbane on Saturday.

The All Blacks play Argentina at 6.10pm on Saturday in the Tri-Nations.
