(UTV|COLOMBO) – A Pro14 disciplinary panel ruled five-cap Berghan’s actions warranted a top-end entry-point suspension of 12 weeks.
The punishment was reduced by the maximum 50%, with the tight-head free to play on Sunday, 4 February.
Berghan’s sanction was halved due to his “good record, apology to the victim, the fact that no serious injury had occurred and the manner in which he and his club met the case”.
The New Zealand-born player joined Edinburgh in 2014, making his international debut against France in last season’s Six Nations, and featured against New Zealand and Australia in last month’s autumn Tests.
