Overview
- France flanker Oscar Jégou has been cited under Law 9.12 for alleged contact with the eye area of Scotland hooker Ewan Ashman.
- A disciplinary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, 10 March at 9:30am GMT via video conference before an independent panel of Simon Thomas (chair), Christopher Morgan and John Langford.
- The incident occurred during Scotland’s 50-40 win at Murrayfield, with BBC footage appearing to show contact in a maul shortly before Darcy Graham’s second try.
- No in-game sanction was issued and television match official Brett Cronan did not intervene, despite Scottish players alerting referee Angus Gardner.
- Former Test referee Nigel Owens said the footage "definitely should have been looked at," while reports note Jégou could miss France’s finale against England if suspended.
