FRANCE BACK ROW Oscar Jégou has been cited for allegedly making contact with the eye area of Scottish hooker Ewan Ashman during yesterday’s Six Nations game between the sides.
France were beaten 50-40 by Scotland in Edinburgh and back row Jégou, who has started all four games in the championship so far, could now miss out on les Bleus’ clash with England in the final round on Saturday if he is suspended.
The incident involving Jégou did not lead to any in-game sanction for the French player, but he has now been cited.
The Six Nations has confirmed that Jégou will face an independent disciplinary hearing on Tuesday morning.
