# Rugby: An Italian lock was given a four-match ban for foul play in last weekend’s Nations Championship match against the All Blacks in Wellington. Niccolo Cannone’s yellow card for a head-butt on New Zealand scrumhalf Cam Roigard was upgraded to red after review, forcing the Azzurri to play with 14 men for 20 minutes and eventually losing 47-17. The competition’s foul play review committee found the offence merited a ban of six weeks or matches, but it was reduced by two weeks due to mitigating circumstances.
