Bundee Aki has been banned for four matches following his red card in Saturday’s Six Nations win over England.

The Connacht centre was dismissed for a high challenge on Billy Vunipola.

Aki conceded his tackle was inches too high, and a six-week ban was imposed.

Two weeks were chalked off due to his previous disciplinary record.

It means Aki will definitely miss Connacht’s Challenge Cup last-16 trip to Leicester, and the quarter-final should they qualify.
