France full-back Melvyn Jaminet has been suspended for 34 weeks and fined €30,000 after posting a racist video on social media, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) said on Friday.

During the French team's tour of Argentina earlier this month, the 25-year-old Toulon player was filmed saying "the first Arab I come across, I’ll throw him a headbutt".
