Aaron Smith has stood down from Saturday's Test against Australia after being found guilty of entering a toilet cubicle with a woman.
The scrum‑half has been found guilty of misconduct by a New Zealand Rugby employment panel over the incident at Christchurch Airport last month.
He was also banned for their Rugby Championship match with South Africa.
NZ Rugby General Manager Neil Sorensen says Aaron Smith presented himself as genuine, honest and incredibly remorseful.
Smith was dropped to the bench for a Test against South Africa in 2012 after breaking a team curfew.
In 2014, he sent a naked picture of himself on Snapchat which was captured by other users and widely circulated.
Smith has played 54 Tests since his making his New Zealand debut in 2012.
The All Blacks will meet the Wallabies at Eden Park in the final Bledisloe test at 7.35pm Saturday.
