(Reuters) - Otago Highlanders winger Tevita Nabura has been banned for six weeks for kicking an opponent in the face during the New Zealand side's Super Rugby defeat to the New South Wales Waratahs last week, the league's Foul Play Review Committee said on Friday.
The Waratahs' 41-12 victory was the first by an Australian side against New Zealand opposition for 41 matches and Nabura's dismissal for his airborne assault on winger Cam Clark in the 19th minute proved decisive at Sydney's Allianz Stadium.
