Italy coach Gonzalo Quesada has had his two-game suspension reduced to one after forcing a misconduct hearing over his criticism of match officials.
Following Italy's 47-17 loss to New Zealand in the Nations Championship, Quesada was automatically suspended for two matches for breaching World Rugby's new match official abuse guidelines that came into effect this month.
Quesada sought a hearing, and an independent disciplinary panel chose to reduce the suspension to one match, with a public apology and a formal warning on future conduct. The panel said the threshold for misconduct was met, but took into account that Quesada accepted his "actions fell short of the standard expected" and his private written apology to referee Luc Ramos.
