Connacht's Abraham Papali’i banned for five weeks

Connacht's Abraham Papali’i has been banned for five weeks following his red card in last week's Guinness PRO14 game against Zebre.

Papali’i was dismissed for a clash of heads with Tommaso Boni by referee Dan Jones under Law 9.13: 'A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously. Dangerous tackling includes, but is not limited to, tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders.'
