London Irish number eight Chris Hala'ufia has been banned for five weeks after being sent off for a dangerous tackle on London Welsh player Seb Jewell.
The 34-year-old was sent off by referee JP Doyle just 10 minutes into his side's 15-9 Premiership defeat at the Kassam Stadium on December 1.
The Tongan number eight will be out of action until 7 January, meaning he miss the Exiles' home-and-away Amlin Challenge Cup fixtures against Gloucester, plus three Premiership matches.
Hala'uifa was also ordered to pay £500 towards hearing costs.
