Overview
- Jegou was cited after placing his hand on Scotland hooker Ewan Ashman’s face during the 59th minute at Murrayfield, with reports indicating apparent contact near the eyes.
- Tuesday’s appearance before the independent disciplinary commission was delayed, with a possible rescheduling as early as Wednesday reported but not confirmed, and no reason given for the postponement.
- Commission reviewers are expected to analyze television and in-stadium camera footage to determine whether Ashman’s eyes were touched and whether the act was intentional.
- If the gesture is judged intentional, guidance indicates a sanction in the 12 to 208 week range, while the overall framework allows penalties starting at four weeks.
- Jegou’s background includes a one‑month suspension in November 2023 for a positive cocaine test and a 2024 rape allegation in Argentina that was dropped, a decision later upheld on appeal in February 2025.
