South Africa and France giants banned for rest of autumn but Pieter-Steph du Toit denies his head charge deserved a red card

South Africa's Pieter-Steph du Toit and France scrum-half Antoine Dupont have both been ruled out of the rest of the autumn after being slapped with bans.

Both players received red cards during France's 30-26 win over South Africa in Marseille on Saturday night.

South Africa back-row du Toit has received a three-game ban for his clearout on Jonathan Danty. However, he will only miss two matches, namely the Springboks' clashes with Italy and England, if he completes World Rugby's coaching intervention programme.
