SARACENS' target Nicky Little has been handed a three-week suspension for a dangerous tackle in Fiji's 68-18 defeat against the All Blacks at the WestpacTrust Stadium in Wellington on Saturday night (June, 29th).
Little, who is expected to complete a move to the men in black in the next fortnight, was cited by the Australian judicial committee after a high tackle, in the closing stages of the match, left Andrew Mehrtens with a broken nose.
The 25-year-old fly-half, who has scored over 500 Test points for his country, is expected to provide support for another of Sarries' summer signings Andy Goode in a position that has plagued the club in recent seasons.
