HIGHLANDERS lock Filipo Levi has been banned for one week by the SANZAR judiciary for the red card he received in Saturday's Super 12 match against NSW.
Levi was sent off during the Aussie Stadium clash after an altercation with NSW lock Justin Harrison during his team's 29-28 win.
However Harrison will play in the NSW Waratahs' crucial final Super 12 match against Queensland after being cleared by the ARU judiciary.
The second rower was cleared of misconduct charges arising from the stoush. Other charges against Levi were adjourned.
