Treviso forward Antonio Pavanello has been banned for two matches for stamping against Saracens.

Italy international unavailable to play until February 6

Treviso second row Antonio Pavanello has been banned for two weeks following an ERC disciplinary hearing. The Italy international was cited for allegedly stamping on Saracens forward Jackson Wray during a Heineken Cup tie on 22 January. At the hearing, Pavenello pleaded guilty to the offence which carries a sanction at the lower end of the scale. The 29-year-old will now be able to return on Monday, 6 February, freeing him up for the clash against Leinster at the Greenyards three days later.
