France Rugby plans to impose strict discipline
The Straits Times
|October 09, 2024
PARIS - French Rugby Federation (FFR) president Florian Grill announced on Oct 7 an overhaul of the system of discipline in the France teams after a summer tour of Argentina was overshadowed by claims of attempted rape and racism.
-
“The historical pattern that existed for years, based on empowerment, accountability does not work,” Grill told AFP, revealing that “a plan, in which there will be controls and sanctions” will be unveiled in the coming days.
“The framework was not clear and a form of flexible structure was even admitted,” he explained of the approach until now.
“We are setting a clear framework which will then allow sanctions to be imposed. And we will not have a hand that trembles.”
In July, France players Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, both 21, were charged with aggravated rape after winning their first international caps against Argentina.
The pair were arrested after a 39-year-old woman alleged they viciously assaulted her in a hotel room hours after defeating Los Pumas in Mendoza.
