Argentina fly-half Tomás Albornoz has been suspended for four matches following an independent disciplinary hearing into his interactions with match officials after Argentina’s match against England on July 18. #worldrugby 

📌 The Charge: Albornoz admitted to misconduct under Regulation 18, accepting that his overall course of conduct was intimidatory toward referee Angus Gardner.
📌 Key Findings: The committee noted he approached the referee twice and had to be restrained by teammates. While contact occurred while disputing a decision, both World Rugby and the committee accepted his distinction that his actions were not abusive, insulting, or threatening.
📌 Sanction Breakdown: A base entry point of 6 matches was reduced to 4 after factoring in his early admission, clear disciplinary record, and commitment to issue public and private written apologies.

MATCHES HE WILL MISS:
❌ Aug 8: Argentina vs South Africa
❌ Aug 29: Argentina vs Australia
❌ Sep 5: Argentina vs Australia
❌ Sep 12: Toulon vs Stade Rochelais
