Former NRL star Corey Norman gets eight-match ban for 'hand between buttocks'

• Australian punished for sticking fingers up opponent's backside
• Lengthy ban could spell end of Toulouse player's career

Australian Corey Norman has been handed an eight-match suspension for sticking his fingers up the backside of an opponent during Toulouse's Super League match against Warrington Wolves last week.

Footage showed the 31-year-old former NRL and Queensland State of Origin player reaching between the legs of Wolves' Oliver Holmes. He has also been fined 500 ($865) for the Grade F charge of other contrary behaviour".
