The two second-rows were sent off within five minutes of each other at Thomond Park on Saturday.

Pierre-Henri Azagoh and Baptiste Pesenti of Stade Francais have both been slapped with suspensions following their red cards against Munster at Thomond Park in Saturday's Investec Champions Cup opener.

Azagoh has been handed a three-week ban by an independent disciplinary committee which found that he breached law 9:13, which states: 'A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously.'READ MORE: Leinster's Sam Prendergast learning greatly through adversity on European stage "No aggravating factors were present, and on the basis of the mitigation submitted on the player’s behalf, a three-week discount was applied to the entry point of 6 weeks. The player was therefore suspended for three weeks."

That same independent committee has dished out a two-week ban for second-rower Pesenti, who was found to be in breach of the same law, with the committee determining that "Pesenti had tackled Casey in a dangerous and reckless manner that warranted a red card."
