Wallabies Lock Miles Amatosero Banned 3 Weeks for Dangerous Play in Rugby Test Against Japan
Miles Amatosero was banned after a video match official ruled his shoulder contacted an opponent's head, sidelining him for three games.
- On Tuesday, a southern hemisphere rugby judiciary committee suspended Wallabies lock Miles Amatosero for three weeks following dangerous play during Australia's 35-32 win over Japan in Osaka last weekend.
- A red card for high contact in a ruck during the 33rd minute at Hanazono Rugby Stadium resulted in Amatosero's dismissal, with officials ruling his shoulder made contact with an opponent's head.
- New Wallabies coach Les Kiss, who selected the 203-centimeter lock as a starter, defended the player, stating, "I don't think that was an emotional decision," despite the 24-year-old's volatile reputation.
- The suspension forces Amatosero to miss Saturday's return clash against Japan in Townsville and a club match for Gordon in Sydney's Shute Shield.
- Completing a coaching intervention programme could allow Amatosero to return for Australia's test match against Argentina in San Salvador later this month.
