Ben Tameifuna has been suspended from all rugby for five weeks for pushing referee Glen Jackson.

Judicial officer Chris Morris says the Waikato prop's shove on Jackson was inexcusable but Tameifuna apologised immediately after the game and showed remorse.

Jackson says he didn't believe the push was malicious.
