SYDNEY (Reuters) - Fijian Drua scrumhalf Frank Lomani has been banned for six Super Rugby Pacific matches for elbowing an opponent in the head last weekend while his prop team mate Jone Koroiduadua will miss two matches for a head butt in the same match.

Both players were shown red cards as the Drua blew a 12-point lead to go down 41-20 to the Melbourne Rebels last Friday but the judiciary took a much dimmer view of Lomani's offence.
