Ireland captain Johnny Sexton has been given a three-match ban that will see him miss his country's three World Cup warm-up matches.
He will not be allowed to play in the fixtures against Italy, England and Samoa, but will be available for Ireland's World Cup opener against Romania on 9 September.
The punishment was given after he admitted misconduct towards match officials following Leinster's Heineken Champions Cup final defeat by La Rochelle in May.
The EPCR disciplinary committee found Sexton's behaviour "confrontational and aggressive towards and disrespectful of the match officials".
