All Black Anton Lienert-Brown has been suspended for three weeks after his head clash attempting to tackle Dallas McLeod in the Super Rugby final.

This suspension will last until July 29, and lead to him missing the first three tests of the year at this stage, leaving him one audition for the World Cup squad against Australia in August.

Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave says Lienert-Brown's ban could be reduced if he completes a coaching intervention programme.
