MELBOURNE (Reuters) -The Queensland Reds will be without scrumhalf Tate McDermott and loose forward Fraser McReight for key matches against New Zealand sides in Super Rugby Pacific after the Wallabies duo were given three-week bans for red cards.

McDermott was given a yellow card, later upgraded to red, for striking Irie Papuni with a swinging arm in a tackle during the 17-14 loss to Moana Pasifika in Whangarei last Friday.
