Australia winger Lote Tuqiri will not play again before the World Cup after being hit with a two-match suspension and a Aus$20,000 fine for another breach of team discipline.
Tuqiri (27), will miss Australia's Tri-Nations clash with South Africa on Saturday and their bid to regain the Bledisloe Cup in New Zealand on July 21st.
He will not have played for eight weeks by the time Australia open their World Cup campaign against Japan on September 8th in Lyon.
Tuqiri was breath-tested after missing a medical appointment and a midday recovery session at the team's base in Sydney on Monday. He returned a blood-alcohol reading of 0.05, which is above the Wallabies' self-imposed limit.
Tuqiri had escaped with a suspended two-match ban after a late-night incident in a Cape Town bar in July 2005, on the condition he was not involved in further off-field indiscretions.
He will remain in camp with Australia, but ACT Brumbies winger Mark Gerrard comes into the squad for next weekend's clash at Telstra Stadium.
