'Horror' France v South Africa incident leaves victim with broken cheek and culprit distraught

Former World Player Of The Year Pieter-Steph du Toit broke down on the sideline after he was given a red card with just 11 minutes played during the France v South Africa match.

The French were hosting the Boks at Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, with Fabien Galthie's side three points up in the opening stages.

Cheslin Kolbe cut against the grain, bringing the ball in field from the right flank, and was tackled by French centre Jonathan Danty. Danty fell backwards and du Toit flew into the inside centre head-to-head with no clear mitigation.
