DUBLIN (AP) — Lood de Jager will miss the rest of South Africa's European rugby tour after he was suspended for four games on Tuesday for his red card against France. De Jager led with his shoulder into the head of France fullback Thomas Ramos, who was on his knees, and sent off on Saturday for not using his arms. The incident forced the Springboks to play the entire second half with 14 men in Paris and they still beat France 32-17.
