Toulon full-back Melvyn Jaminet has been suspended by France and been sent home from the tour of Argentina, after he claimed he would "hit the first Arab I come across on the road” in a video posted on his Instagram account.

The video was posted following France's win over Argentina on Saturday, in which Jaminet featured as a replacement. It was swiftly deleted, but not before Jaminet's remarks came to light.
