It's a bad move that could condemn the Blues, already in a bad day, at Murrayfield. We play the 37th minute of Scotland-France, on the 4th day of the Six Nations Tournament, this Sunday.
Following a collision with the Scottish 2nd row Jamie Ritchie, Mohamed Haouas punched his opponent in the face. Reported by the assistant referee, Wayne Barnes, the incident was viewed on video, but did not revert to the previous Scottish irregularities. The main referee, Paul Williams, then decided to exclude the pillar of the France team.
Just after this expulsion, Adam Hastings was able to register three additional points for the XV of Chardon, leading at the break (14-7).
