Argentina fly-half Tomas Albornoz has received a four-match ban for misconduct following the Nations Championship match against England on July 18. The dramatic contest, which England won 31-24, saw Albornoz remonstrate with referee Angus Gardner after a late try was disallowed. He made physical contact with Gardner and was seen being restrained by teammates.

World Rugby confirmed Albornoz admitted to intimidating conduct towards the match official. While he did not accept his actions were abusive, insulting, offensive, or threatening, the disciplinary committee found his overall conduct intimidatory.

Considering Albornoz's early acceptance of the charge, his commitment to apologize, and his clean disciplinary record, a four-match suspension was deemed appropriate. The ban includes upcoming matches for Argentina and club commitments with Toulon.
