The pillar of the XV of France Uini Atonio, author of a dangerous tackle against Ireland in the Six Nations Tournament on Saturday February 11 in Dublin, having earned him a temporary exclusion, was cited and will appear on Wednesday before an independent commission, have organizers announced on Monday. The English referee of the meeting, Wayne Barnes, had only sanctioned Atonio with a yellow card for his illegal tackle in the first half on Irish hooker Rob Herring, forced to leave his teammates in concussion after this gesture. But the right pillar of La Rochelle could be suspended for the next match of the Blues in the Tournament, Sunday February 26 against Scotland at the Stade de France. He will appear on Wednesday February 15, by videoconference, before an independent disciplinary commission made up of a New Zealander, an Englishman and a South African.
