Tiger Tuilagi given four-week ban

Alesana Tuilagi
Tuilagi has already been punished by his club over the incident

Leicester winger Alesana Tuilagi has been given a four-week ban after being found guilty of foul play in the Tigers' Heineken Cup win against Bath.

The 28-year-old had already been suspended by his club after being cited for an off-the-ball challenge on full-back Nick Abendanon.

He will miss the Cup semi-final against the Blues and the Premiership play-offs and final, should they get that far.

His ban expires on 21 May, two days before the Heineken Cup final.

Tuilagi, who is a Samoan international, has the right to appeal against the suspension.
