Stade Francais winger receives 15-week ban for eye-gouge

Stade Francais winger Josaia Raisuqe has been hit with a 15-week ban for eye-gouging.

The Fijian was red carded after his hand made contact with the eye of Munster's CJ Stander during last weekend's European Rugby Champions Cup clash in Paris.

After pleading guilty, he was initially given an 18-week ban with a further three weeks added as a deterrent before he had six weeks reduced.

That means that Raisuqe won't be free to play again until May 9th.

He will miss Saturday's rematch against Munster, who lost to 14-man Stade 27-7 last Saturday.
