The Bath forward appeared at a disciplinary hearing in Auckland after being cited for reckless use of the boot during Englands 36-12 second Test defeat against New Zealand.

Grewcock, who was accompanied at the hearing by England head coach Sir Clive Woodward and Richard Smith QC, will miss next Saturdays World Cup final rematch against Australia in Brisbane.

But in terms of games, that could be the extent of his punishment, as England then do not play again until November and the English Premiership season does not kick off until September 4.

Grewcock was found guilty by a three-man panel of reckless use of the boot to All Blacks centre Daniel Carters head.

Woodward described the hearing as fair, and is now set to go with a second row partnership of Simon Shaw and Steve Borthwick against Australia.

Grewcocks ban was imposed just two hours after Shaw was acquitted after being sent off for use of the knee in the Test.

Meanwhile, props Mike Worsley and Will Green have been called into the England squad.

Worsley, of Harlequins, and Green, of Wasps, were in Canada with the England XV who lost the Churchill Cup 26-19 to New Zealand Maoris.
