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.
Rugby.com.au reports it was deemed the entry point for the offence was six weeks, reduced to three weeks.
Hodge will miss Australia’s clash with Wales 7.45pm this Sunday.
