(Reuters) - France captain Antoine Dupont has been handed a four-match suspension following his red card against South Africa last weekend, while Springboks' loose-forward Pieter-Steph du Toit has been banned for three matches.

Dupont took out the legs of Bok wing Cheslin Kolbe in the air during his side's 30-26 victory in Marseille on Saturday, the latter landing on his head in an ugly fall that ruled him out for the rest of the game.
