Wales will face French rugby's bad boy Bernard le Roux when they clash with Les Bleus in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
The back-row or lock forward was sent off and suspended for a cynical stamp on Phil John during a Champions Cup clash between Racing 92 and the Scarlets in Llanelli.
South African-born le Roux, who kept Dan Lydiate out of the team during the Wales international's stint at Racing, kicked out at John during the pool match at Parc y Scarlets.
English referee Greg Garner dismissed le Roux after consulting with the television match official.
The player served a seven-week ban last season for a dangerous tackle on Clermont Auvergne's France international Wesley Fofana.
Le Roux escaped with just a yellow card following that incident but a French League Top 14 disciplinary committee slapped the lengthy suspension on him.
He had previously advised Johnny Sexton, who had suffered from concussions, to "wear a helmet" ahead of a Six Nations clash between France and Ireland.
