The ban will rule him out of the rest of the tournament.

Galarza was found guilty of making "contact with the eye or eye area" of Retallick during the Pumas 16-26 defeat to the All Blacks at Wembley.

The 28-year-old Argentine denied the charge.

He did not get the maximum sentence because of his good disciplinary record up to now.

World Rugby ordered a clampdown on what it called "insidious" fouls around the eye area in 2009.

The ban extends past the World Cup and will stop Galarza from playing for his English club side Gloucester until November 26.
