Faure lost his cool with Marshall
|
Sale prop Lionel Faure has received a six-week ban after he was sent off for punching Justin Marshall against Leeds last weekend.
Faure, who had already been suspended by Sharks coach Philippe Saint-Andre, had the punishment imposed by a RFU disciplinary panel in London.
"Retaliation or violence of any kind is simply not acceptable in my team," said Saint-Andre.
The 27-year-old will be available to play again on 18 December.
His ban will rule him out of three Premiership games, a Powergen Cup trip to Llanelli and the Sharks' next Heineken Cup game against Castres.
