Wallabies winger Reece Hodge has been suspended for three weeks by the World Rugby judiciary for a dangerous tackle on Fiji flanker Peceli Yato.

Hodge was cited for a hit on Yato in the 25th minute of their World Cup clash.

Hodge fronted a World Rugby judicial hearing at a legal office in Tokyo and the hearing went for close to four hours.
