Sonny Bill Williams has been suspended for four weeks following his red card in the second Test against the British & Irish Lions.

The All Blacks centre was given his marching orders by referee Jerome Garces in the 25th minute of Saturday's clash in Wellington, after a shoulder charge on Anthony Watson.

Williams was hit with a ban when he appeared before a three-man judicial panel in Wellington on Sunday, with the New Zealand Rugby Union announcing a verdict that means he misses next weekend's Test series decider.
