The sanction will see Asofa-Solomona miss next week's test against Australia and two matches with Great Britain.

It's a huge blow for the Kiwis, who are already without injured forwards Jesse Bromwich and James Fisher-Harris.

The NRL and Storm's also handed the prop a suspended $16,000 fine but he is free to play in round one next season.
