Argentina fly-half Tomás Albornoz has been suspended for four matches following a misconduct charge stemming from an incident after his team's defeat against England last month. The ban, which begins with a match against South Africa on Saturday, was issued due to Albornoz intimidating the referee after the full-time whistle.

The disciplinary action follows a controversial conclusion to the game, in which the Pumas were denied a late try, leading to ugly scenes on the pitch after the match.
