Wales' Taylor banned for two games after leg-breaking tackle

Ireland fullback Coleman left the field on a stretcher, with an oxygen mask on his face, after Taylor recklessly clattered into him on 68 minutes of the encounter. Taylor, who was immediately sent off, will miss Wales' next two World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Austria.
