Australia's Tevita Kuridrani has been banned until next February for his dangerous tackle on Ireland's Peter O'Mahony.

The centre has been handed a 5-week ban as a result of the 'tip tackle' during the closing stages of last Saturday's November International at the Aviva Stadium, which earned him a red card during the game.

With Australia's rugby season coming to a close, the rest of the ban will carry over to the start of the new season.
