Banned Australia centre Kerevi to miss Scotland game

Australia's Samu Kerevi has been suspended for this challenge on Wales' Jac Morgan

Australia centre Samu Kerevi is out of Sunday's Autumn Test against Scotland at Scottish Gas Murrayfield after being given a three-game ban for a dangerous tackle in the win over Wales.

Kerevi, who made his 50th Test appearance for the Wallabies at the Principality Stadium last Sunday, was initially yellow carded for foul play on Wales' Jac Morgan before it was upgraded to red early in the second half.

The red card was upheld when the 31-year-old appeared before an independent three-member disciplinary committee on Tuesday.

The committee imposed a six-week mid-range ban on Kerevi, later reduced to three weeks due to mitigating circumstances.

"In light of the player accepting he committed an act of foul play as well as other mitigating factors such as his clean disciplinary record, his remorse and good conduct, they have applied the full 50% reduction in sanction, thus reducing the final sanction to three weeks/matches," a statement said.
