Johnston to miss play-offs
Toulouse were dealt a blow ahead of this weekend's Top 14 quarterfinal against Oyonnax with news that veteran Samoa prop Census Johnston will sit out the game because of a punch he landed in a match last weekend.
The 34-year-old, who lashed out against Bordeaux-Begles players in the final game of the regulation season, has been summoned to appear before the league's disciplinary committee on June 3 and is suspended until that date.
Toulouse play Oyonnax on Saturday and Stade Francais are at home to Racing-Metro on Friday in play-offs that will decide the semifinal line-up that already includes the two top teams, Toulon and Clermont.
