France backrower Oscar Jegou was lucky to escape yesterday's Six Nations loss to Scotland without a red card.
The La Rochelle man was seen putting his hands on the facer of Ewan Ashman during a maul, with a lengthy ban almost certain to follow.
According to French journalist Gauthier Baudin: "Oscar Jegou in hot water after this slow-motion clip showing a suspicion of a fork on Scottish hooker Ewan Ashman. Response in the coming hours/next few days regarding a possible summons before a disciplinary committee."

“So to get four and seven tries and get maximum points against them was great.
“We’ve given ourselves an opportunity. It’s not all in our hands because France will play after us. We’ll just make sure we target that Ireland game and do all we can to win and see what happens after.”
