The coach of the Blues assured that the right pillar, sentenced last week, will not be selected for the World Cup in France.
The coach of the XV of France, Fabien Galthié, assures this Wednesday in Marcoussis, that Mohamed Haouas, sentenced last week to one year in prison without a warrant, will not be selected for the next World Cup in France (September 8- October 28). “Last week, when he got out of prison, I called him, I talked to him. I listened to him. I told him that he would not be selected. He replied that he understood, that he apologized to the players and the staff“, explained the coach of the Blues, in a press conference.
As soon as the conviction of the right pillar (16 selections) known, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) reacted via a press release. “We express our dismay at this situation and strongly condemn all forms of violence, especially violence against women. The behavior of Mohamed Haouas is unacceptable and incompatible with the representation of our nation at the international level“, said the press release.
“An irreproachable respect for the values of respect and integrity”
The reaction of Serge Simon, vice-president in charge of the French teams, was just as clear. “The conduct of Mohammed Haouas is contrary to the principles that underpin our sport and our national team. Being a member of the France team implies irreproachable respect for the values of respect and integrity. Firmness is our duty in such circumstances.»
