Melbourne Rebels and Wallabies prop Laurie Weeks has been hit with a three-week Super Rugby ban after repeatedly punching a South African opponent in last weekend's 25-21 loss to the Sharks in Durban.

He struck fellow tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis after being slapped on the back of the head by the long-serving Springboks front-rower in a match-up between two of the also-rans of Super Rugby.

SANZAR announced the three-week suspension in a statement on Monday. Weeks will miss the Rebels' last two fixtures at home to the Bulls this Saturday and to Western Force the following week.
