Flying Fijians number 8 Sisa Koyamaibole and fly-half, Waisea Luveniyali have been handed bans of two weeks and four weeks respectively.

The suspensions were handed out yesterday by the International Rugby Board appointed Judicial Officer Mosese Naivalu after they received their marching orders in the PNC loss to Japan.

Koyamaibole was red carded in the first half of the game while Luveniyali was shown a yellow card.

The suspension of the two player’s means they now have no chance of playing in next week’s All Blacks Test in Dunedin.

Both players’ suspensions are effective from 13th July, with Koyamaibole able to resume playing on the 28th July and Luveniyali on the 11th August.
