flag French rugby player Oscar Jegou suspended four weeks for reckless eye contact in Six Nations match against Scotland, missing key game vs. England.

French rugby player Oscar Jegou has been suspended for four weeks after being found guilty of reckless eye contact during France’s Six Nations match against Scotland. The incident, captured on video, occurred in a maul when Jegou made contact with Scotland’s Ewan Ashman’s eyes, going unnoticed by officials at the time. An independent panel upgraded the charge to “reckless contact with the eye(s)” and applied a two-week reduction due to Jegou’s clean record, though the six-week minimum was deemed appropriate since no injury occurred. He will miss France’s crucial final match against England and three club games for La Rochelle. The decision followed a delayed Zoom hearing, and Jegou retains the right to appeal.
