Suspension for high tackle

One week ban for Michael Leitch

The Japanese international was the third player to be yellow carded during the match after his 77th minute high shot on Hurricanes reserve hooker Ricky Riccitelli.

The Chiefs won the match 26-18.

Leitch was cited after the match and pleaded guilty at his hearing with the SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee on Sunday.

His one week suspension means he misses the Chiefs' round four matches in Melbourne.

It follows on from World Rugby's hard stance on high tackles.

In the past a similar tackle would have not been cited.
