(Reuters) - All Blacks and Auckland loose forward Steve Luatua has been handed a four-week suspension for a high tackle on Tim Nanai-Williams that earned him a red card in the Blues' 41-26 Super Rugby defeat at the Waikato Chiefs on Friday.
Luatua, who apologised to Nanai-Williams after the game, pleaded guilty to a dangerous tackle of an opponent after he hit the Chiefs winger with a late, swinging arm off the ball just before halftime in the Hamilton clash.
