Le Roux cited for cheap shot on Alun Wyn Jones
By Online Editors
France lock Bernard Le Roux has found himself in trouble following his moment of madness against Wales on Saturday. Le Roux has been cited for an alleged act of foul play during France’s 38-21 win over Wales on Saturday.
The 31-year-old will appear in front of a World Rugby appointed three-man independent panel for striking Wales second-row Alun Wyn Jones.
Footage revealed that the Racing 92 forward cleared out the Welsh legend at a breakdown in the first half but appeared to have his arm around his neck as he drove through the ruck.
The 31-year-old then pushed Jones to the ground and followed through with his right forearm and elbow to the face of the Welshman.
Le Roux who was not penalised during the game as referee Karl Dickson and television match official missed the incident.
His disciplinary hearing is set to take place on Tuesday. Welsh skipper Jones refused to comment on the incident in the post-match press conference.

You are not right, I don't know any other way to say it.
I understand you'd like to believe that the SA D system has found been somehow 'found out' and its weaknesses exposed.
It suits your agenda that it is only a matter of time before the ABs reclaim their rightful spot at the head of the world game [in all aspects].
It warps your judgment but I say, that's okay.😁

I fondly remember hours spent in early mornings shared with Dad and my brothers in the middle of last century nothing with more than a crackling radio to share commentaries from Jo'burg or Capetown say the same as you guys would do when you Boks came to NZ on long tours with vivid memories without visuals on TV either ...WIN OR LOSE! 😍 but still keeping scores lol that's where respect was born! 😎
