Liam Gill has received a two week suspension after he was cited for a lifting tackle on Brumbies half-back Nic White during the Reds' loss to the Brumbies on Saturday.

A WWE style tackle, Gill lifted White off his feet at the back of a ruck and dumped him onto his back leaving the player winded. Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham described the act as "reckless, dangerous" following the match and Reds coach Richard Graham said he had no idea what Gill was attempting to do.

"I saw White over the ball but it was probably not the cleanest of clearouts I've seen before. It was probably more something from WWE or something like that," Graham said.

The Judicial Officer stated the unusual form of tackle meant Gill only reached the entry level sanction and his exemplary record and contribution to rugby in general were factors used to reduce his suspension from four weeks to two.

"Mitigating factors taken into account for determining final sanction include the player admitted the offence," Judicial Officer Robert Stelzner SC said. "He has an exemplary disciplinary record having never been cited before and has represented Australia at both U20 and Test level. His contribution to rugby in general has been outstanding and he clearly expressed remorse for committing the offence and for having tarnished his record with this incident. I considered a 50 per cent reduction in suspension was appropriate after taking these mitigating factors into account. As a result, a two-week sanction was considered to be appropriate."

The Reds' bye this weekend means Gill will only miss the Round 7 match against the Lions on Friday March 27.
