Wallaby bruiser receives three-match ban
NEWS: Australia lock forward Miles Amatosero was banned for three matches for dangerous play that led to a red card in Australia’s 35-32 win over Japan in Osaka last weekend.
Amatosero will, as a result, miss Saturday’s return Test against Japan in Townsville.
A disciplinary committee ruled that Amatosero had been guilty of dangerous play after his shoulder made contact with the head of Japan captain Warner Dearns at a 33rd-minute ruck.
Amatosero was suspended from rugby for three weeks, equating to three matches.
But he could return for the third of those – against Argentina on August 29 – if he takes part in a World Rugby coaching intervention programme.
