Italy prop Martin Castrogiovanni has been banned for two weeks for stamping on Scotland's Duncan Taylor during last weekend's 36-20 Six Nations defeat in Rome.
The 34-year-old prop came on as a second-half replacement at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday and later appeared to direct a stamp towards Taylor's foot.
Castrogiovanni admitted to the offence at a disciplinary hearing held in London today and was given a fortnight's suspension.
He will now be unavailable to play for the Azzurri in ten days' time against Ireland.
