Tanielu Tele'a banned for 3 games following dangerous tackle

New Zealand U20s centre Tanielu Tele'a has been banned for three games following his no-arms tackle on Ioan Nicholas in their match against Wales.

Telea was sent to the sin-bin for 10 minutes during the clash and has been subsequently banned for the rest of the World Rugby U20s tournament.

The blockbusting midfielder was a member of New Zealand Schools and was named in the Auckland 2017 Mitre 10 Cup squad having represented the Samoa u20s at the World Under-20 Championship earlier that year.
