France flanker Jégou hit with four-week ban for reckless eye contact in Six Nations
- Oscar Jegou received a four-week suspension for reckless eye contact in the Six Nations match against Scotland.
- The offence occurred in a maul during the Murrayfield game that France lost 50-40.
- Video replays prompted the citation after officials did not penalize the act at the time.
- The panel cited the act as reckless contact rather than a red-card offense originally.
- Jegou will miss France’s final Six Nations match against England and three La Rochelle games.
- Ewan Ashman was not injured in the incident.
- The sanction started at the low end and was reduced for good conduct and record.
- The incident was reviewed after the match, leading to a cited charge.
- The disciplinary panel’s decision was announced the day after the initial hearing.
- France will need to cope without Jegou for the final Six Nations match and club duties.
