All Blacks and Auckland Blues winger Caleb Clarke has been restricted for three Super Rugby matches subsequent to being shown a red card for a careless test during a match against Moana Pasifika last week.
Clarke, who was one of five players shipped off in six cycle seven matches last week, connected with the head of Moana winger Tomasi Alosio in a flying test during the match at Eden Park.
A SANZAAR Judicial Hearing discovered that Clarke had negated the law precluding foolish or hazardous play and suspended him from the opposition until the finish of cycle 10.
World Rugby has been determined to eliminate head contact from the game throughout the most recent couple of years as a result of the potential for blackout, which can affect player wellbeing.
Each of the five players excused last week were given boycotts of three weeks or more.
Blues and All Blacks prop Nepo Laulala got a three-week boycott for a perilous cleanout in the principal match in a cycle seven twofold header against Moana last Tuesday.
Canterbury Crusaders prostitute Shilo Klein got three weeks for a high tackle on Otago Highlanders prop Ethan de Groot, while Fijian Drua chief Nemani Nagusa was restricted for a very long time for a tackle that was both high and late.
Queensland Reds forward Tuaina Tualima got a three-week boycott for a perilous clearout on ACT Brumbies prop James Slipper.
New Zealand's arbitrators boss Bryce Lawrence said on Wednesday he thought the rash of red cards last week was a "one-off" and the normal over the season was probably going to be no higher than in earlier years.
