France prop Mohamed Haouas will miss the remainder of the Six Nations after being handed a four-week ban by the organisers on Wednesday for the red card he collected against Scotland at the weekend.

The 28-year-old tighthead was brought into the side to replace Uini Atonio who had been handed a three-week ban for a yellow-card incident in France's defeat against Ireland.
