# Rugby: Italian prop Marco Riccioni has been banned for two club matches after receiving a red card in the 57-10 Nations Championship loss to Australia in Perth. He was on the sidelines when he got involved in a skirmish during the second half. The tournament’s foul play review committee says Riccioni’s actions could have merited a four-week suspension, but it was reduced to two because of his admission of guilt and previous disciplinary record. He will miss two matches for Perpignan in France’s Top 14 league next month.
