Italy prop Marco Riccioni has been suspended for two weeks after being found guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct in the Nations Championship rugby test against Australia, [AP News](https://apnews.com/article/riccioni-ban-italy-nations-championship-rugby-a11bb9eaf4b4215ad7d6db4a9669cc3b) reports.
Riccioni received a red card in the 66th minute of the 57-10 loss to Australia in Perth, Western Australia. He had already been replaced when he got involved in a wrestle between players spilled from the field into the technical area and knocked some Italy support staff off their chairs.
The tournament's Foul Play Review committee announced the two-week suspension on Wednesday. It is the third suspension involving Italy in two weeks. The committee said the foul play could have merited a four-week suspension but it was reduced to two because of Riccioni's admission of guilt and his previous disciplinary record.
