France centre Geoffrey Doumayrou tried to pull the wool over the official’s eyes in a disgraceful act of feigning an injury.
After grabbing onto Montpellier hooker Bismarck du Plessis in a ruck, the former Springbok slapped his shoulder to make him let go.
The Frenchman then laid on the floor and called on medical assistance.
He was later red-carded for an ugly tip tackle on Frans Steyn, for which he received a five-week ban on Wednesday.
He also was given a five-week suspended ban and a €1,000 fine for contesting the decision of a match official.
