BRISBANE, Australia (AP) 鈥� Wallabies lock Miles Amatosero has been banned for three weeks after admitting to dangerous play in in Osaka last weekend.
Amatosero was shown a red card late in the first half after a video match official ruled that his left shoulder made contact with the head of an opposing player as he attempted a clean out in a maul.

He could become eligible to play against Argentina, though, after being given permission to apply to take part in World Rugby鈥檚 Coaching Intervention Program as a substitute for the last match of the sanction.
The 203-centimeter (6-foot-8) Amatosero made his test debut in as head coach and was selected to start in the first test match under .
