Chiefs second‑five Johnny Fa'auli will miss the rest of the current Super Rugby season, after he was handed a six‑week suspension for his dangerous tackle on the Hurricanes' Wes Goosen last Friday.
22-year-old, Fa'auli, was handed the penalty last night, facing the SANZAAR judicial panel after his red card in his side's 28‑24 victory.
In the second half of the Chiefs' win in Hamilton Fa'auli was sent off after his dangerous tackle on Goosen, who failed two separate concussion tests, unable to return to the field and likely to miss the two sides' repeat fixture in Wellington this weekend.
Fa'auli is suspended from all forms of the game until August 31.
Meanwhile the Hurricanes will host the Chiefs in their quarterfinal at 7.35pm Friday.
