Japan suspended head coach Eddie Jones for four games and cut his salary on Wednesday for "verbal abuse directed at local officials" during an Australian tour.

Jones will miss Japan's Nations Championship opener against Italy in Tokyo on July 4.

The Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU) said the 66-year-old Australian violated its ethics and disciplinary regulations during a Japan Under-23 team tour of Australia from April 1 to 15.
