Wallabies prospect likely to miss remainder of Super Rugby AU after being handed suspension
By AAP
Promising Melbourne Rebels lock Trevor Hosea won't play again unless his team make the Super Rugby AU grand final after he was handed a two-match ban.
Hosea will miss their must-win last round clash with the NSW Waratahs on Saturday night.
If Melbourne make the three-team finals he will sit out the qualifying final against the Brumbies.
Queensland have already booked a home grand final against the winner of that match.
Hosea, who has been part of recent Wallabies squads and a regular starter for the Rebels, was charged with "dangerous play in a ruck" after Melbourne's loss to the Brumbies on Sunday.
The 21-year-old pleaded guilty to a hearing by SANZAAR's Foul Play Review Committee.
The offence was deemed mid-range, which has a penalty of four weeks, however this was reduced to two due to Hosea's guilty plea and good judicial record.

I'm very aware that GB is not UK.
Also that the British Isles are not the same as the British Islands.
I still think your objection to calling this a tour to the UK is stupid and pedantic.
I repeat what I send earlier, the Boks are not playing anywhere except in the UK.
It's legitimate therefore to call this a tour to the UK.
But this is boring now, goodnight, goodbye. And good luck with your crusade (that really doesn't have any bearing on what the article is discussing.)
Go to commentsHappy for Asher Opoku-Fordjour but why oh why is he the only new face, Borthwick didn't have to change 50% of the team but surely another 2 or 3 squad guys could have been given the chance to show what they could do? What can we possibly learn from this game other than we can beat Japan with a strong team.... hold the front page....!!
