Leicester centre Seru Rabeni has been banned for three weeks for a dangerous tackle.
That rules him out until February 28, meaning he will miss the Tigers' next three Guinness Premiership matches.
The Fijian appeared before an RFU disciplinary panel and admitted a dangerous tackle on Newcastle centre Jamie Noon during Leicester's 41-14 success on Janurary 26.
Rabeni's team-mate Andy Goode avoided a ban after being cited for a dangerous tackle on Jonny Wilkinson in the same game.
Goode was given a yellow card at the time, which the panel deemed was sufficient punishment.
