(Reuters) - Toulouse flanker Piula Faasalele has been hit with a seven-week ban for dangerous play and will miss four Top 14 matches and two European Champions Cup games.

The 30-year-old Samoan, punished for a dangerous tackle on Gabriel Ngandebe during a 66-15 defeat to Montpellier last month, will not return to action until Nov. 26.
