The commissioner for the citation of the France-Wales match, who had 48 hours to make his decision, officially quoted Bernard Le Roux "for an alleged offense", namely "hitting with the arm (Law 9.12)".
The second row of Racing made this bad gesture in the 19th minute on the Welsh captain, Alun Wyn Jones.
He is seen grabbing Alun Wyn Jones by the neck several times to pull him out of a ruck.
We always have that little extra thing against Wales.
In recent years, we still have a lot of elbow-based stuff.

After the match, coach Wayne Pivac preferred not to add more at a press conference.
“I did not see the incident, it was reported to me.
The officials will look into this.
If there is a problem, they will take it into consideration. ”
The disciplinary hearing will take place, via Video Zoom, Tuesday at 1:00 p.m., before an independent panel appointed by World Rugby, made up of Charles Cuthbert (United Arab Emirates), Scottish Frank Hadden and Englishman Leon Lloyd.
Bernard le Roux risks several weeks of suspension and could miss the closing match of the Six Nations Tournament against Ireland, next Saturday at the Stade de France.
