Pisi banned for two weeks

's Tusi Pisi has been banned for two weeks after an disciplinary panel found him guilty of taking out full-back Jamie Shillcock in the air.
Pisi will be free to play again on Tuesday, January 10 after the panel met in Bristol yesterday evening.
The fly-half pleaded guilty after being sent off by referee Wayne in the match between Bristol and Worcester on Boxing Day.
Bristol went on to record a 28-20 victory, their first league win of the season despite Pisi receiving his marching orders in the first-half for tackling Shillcock while jumping for the ball in open play.
The RFU Disciplinary panel said: “The player accepted the charge on the basis that this was a reckless challenge with no intent to cause injury. The panel agreed and determined this was a low-end entry point giving full mitigation on account of his plea and remorse.”
