Ardie Savea has been handed a one-week ban for Friday's throat-slitting gesture.
The Hurricanes captain was sent before a SANZAAR judicial committee, where he was handed a short suspension sentence for 'persistent offending'.
The committee said the controversial gesture came close, but didn't warrant a red card. Because the warning was issued along with a yellow card for the gesture, Ardie Savea was briefly suspended.
Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explained the terms of Ardie Savea's punishment.
