Red carded Umaga suspended

Johannesburg - Former All Blacks captain Tana Umaga has been suspended from coaching in the French national rugby second division for 10 days.
The punishment came after he apparently attempted to calm a brawl in a match between his side Toulon and rival Pau.
Umaga took the unusual step of walking onto the pitch armed with water bottles in a bid to restore the peace but the match referee objected to his presence and asked him to leave.
Umaga ignored him and was shown a red card.
A disciplinary tribunal handed down the suspension over the weekend.
