Following a misconduct charge stemming from Argentina's Nations Championship loss to England, Tomas Albornoz has been handed a four-match suspension. The incident occurred after the final whistle, where Albornoz was seen arguing with referee Angus Gardner and making physical contact with him.
The contest itself was marked by controversy, with seven yellow cards issued and a disputed try that was ultimately disallowed, allowing England to secure a 31-24 victory. World Rugby released a statement confirming Albornoz's suspension, citing his intimidatory conduct towards the match officials. The disciplinary committee took into account Albornoz's acceptance of the charge, his apology, and his clean disciplinary record in determining the suspension length.
