France captain Antoine Dupont has been suspended for four weeks following his red card against South Africa, starting with the autumn series visit of Japan.
A nominee for World Rugby's player of the year - the awards for which are on Sunday - Dupont was given his marching orders after taking out an airborne Cheslin Kolbe in the second half of their Test last Saturday in Marseille which France won 30-26.
South Africa's Pieter-Steph du Toit has received a three-match ban from the same match, after being sent off after a dangerous entry into a ruck saw him clash heads with centre Jonathan Danty.
He will sit out South Africa's Test against England on November 26.
Lock Richie Gray has been suspended for three weeks and will miss Scotland's Test against Argentina at Murrayfield.
Gray was cited for dangerous play after the 31-23 home loss to New Zealand last weekend.
His generally good disciplinary record meant the penalty was reduced from a starting point of six weeks to three, meaning he will miss the Test and two Glasgow club games.
Gray made his first start for Scotland in five years this month against Fiji and was retained for the All Blacks game.
Fiji flanker Albert Tuisue has been suspended for four weeks after being sent off in last weekend's 35-17 defeat by Ireland.
Tuisue was dismissed in the second half for a head-high tackle that left Ireland five-eighth Joey Carbery concussed.
