RugbyU: South Africa star Steyn handed four-week ban

PARIS, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jan, 2017 ) - Montpellier's South Africa fly-half star Francois Steyn was handed a four-week ban on Wednesday for a dangerous tackle on Leinster counterpart Jonny Sexton in a European Champions Cup tie last weekend.

Steyn was red-carded just before the half-hour mark of his team's 57-3 mauling which ended their hopes of making the quarter-finals. He will be sidelined until March 6. Leinster's New Zealand lock forward Hayden Triggs was suspended for three weeks for "making contact in the eye zone" of Montpellier scrum-half Nic White. Triggs can return to action on February 20.
