Gloucester winger David Halaifonua and Leicester prop Riccardo Brugnara have both been handed two-week suspensions by the Rugby Football Union.
Tonga international Halaifonua was sent off following a dangerous high tackle on Wasps' second-row Bradley Davies during Sunday's Aviva Premiership 23-3 at the Ricoh Arena.
Davies required attention followed by a medical assessment before he was able to continue while Wasps prop Lorenzo Cittadini was also given his marching orders in the 74th minute for punching in a ruck .
Brugnara, meanwhile, was cited after the loose-head prop was given a yellow card for kicking Jack Yeandle of Exeter Chiefs during the Tigers' 19-6 defeat at Sandy Park on Saturday.
Both players will be free to play again on November 23.
