Melbourne star Nelson Asofa-Solomona is set to miss New Zealand's three upcoming Tests following his Bali brawl controversy over the weekend, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
The NRL Integrity Unit conducted an investigation into the altercation, with the prop flying home on Monday morning to talk to the Storm.
Asofa-Solomona reportedly conceded that he had done the wrong thing, but claimed that he was sticking up for Storm teammate Suliasi Vunivalu, who was allegedly king-hit by a drunken patron.
There was a push for him to be banned from international footy for the next month, but he will now sit out clashes against Australia in the Trans-Tasman Test in Wollongong on Friday week, before a double-header against Great Britain.
The official findings from the investigation are expected to be handed out before Friday's World Cup Nines tournament commences.
Kiwis coach Michael Maguire was not willing to comment on the NRL's investigation on Monday.
"The game will look after that in due time,'' Maguire told reporters.
"I won't assume anything [about potential punishment], and at the end of the day you need to make sure they're thorough in what they go through, and I'm sure the integrity unit will do that.''
New Zealand Rugby League boss Greg Peters told The Sydney Morning Herald: "Nelson is a big part of our set-up, and he expressed strong loyalty to the Kiwis earlier in the year, and exactly that's what we're looking for in players - loyalty to the black and white. Having said that it's before the integrity unit and I won't comment further on the process until it's concluded.'
