Wasps launched an investigation after their captain was cited for allegedly striking Leicester prop Julian White during last Saturday's EDF Energy Cup semi-final at the Millennium Stadium.

Dallaglio, who faces a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing in London next Tuesday as a result, will now miss Wasps' Guinness Premiership appointment with Leicester this weekend.

Wasps say they are satisfied there was no intention or malice on Dallaglio's part, although his actions did infringe the relevant International Rugby Board rule.

The club also took into account what they describe as Dallaglio's "exemplary previous disciplinary history".

Dallaglio said: "I accept the sanction of a week's suspension from playing for my club.

"I acknowledge that my actions infringed the rules, although I wish to stress that they were unintentional and without any malice.

"I have extended my apologies to Julian White. I hope that I can now draw a line under this incident and enjoy playing out the rest of my final season."

Dallaglio, 35, will retire from all rugby next month following a glittering career that saw him help England win the 2003 World Cup.
