FRANCE HOOKER PEATO Mauvaka has been cited for an incident during his side’s Six Nations game against Scotland on Saturday.
The No 2 was shown a yellow card during the first half after he made head-to-head contact with Scotland’s Ben White.
Mauvaka returned to the field after being sent to the sin bin for 10-minutes. The incident was referred for a bunker review, but it was deemed the contact was not dangerous.
Yet now Mauvaka has been cited for foul play contrary to Law 9.12 – A player must not…. strike with any part of the arm, shoulder, head or knee(s).
