The Glasgow Warriors player was dismissed 23 minutes into the Millennium Stadium clash in Cardiff after smashing his shoulder into the jaw of Dragons fly-half Dan Biggar.

Hogg - whose team went on to suffer their heaviest ever defeat in the tournament after being reduced to 14 men as Wales stormed to a huge 51-3 victory - will not be freed to play again as of midnight on April 6.
