Everything had been too perfect. After the big victory of the XV of France against Ireland (53-3), Saturday April 1, the Blue awaited the decision of the organizing committee concerning the sanction of Annaëlle Deshayes. Excluded for a dangerous tackle, the French pillar was finally suspended until the end of the Tournament, the commission having estimated, Tuesday, April 4, that it had touched the head of the third Irish center line “with the shoulder”.
Given several mitigating circumstances in its favour, including “his early admission of guilt”, “his remorse and sincere interest” for the victim, as well as his clean disciplinary file, the sanction, initially six weeks, was reduced to three weeks. However, she should miss the last three meetings of Les Bleues, against Scotland on April 16, in Wales on the 23rd and finally in England on the 29th.
A reduced penalty?
However, the Stade Bordelais player (27 years old, 42 caps) herself asked to follow an awareness workshop intended for players sanctioned with a red card for contact with the head of an opponent. If she validates this internship, her sanction will be reduced to two weeks. She could thus hope to sign her return for what is already shaping up to be the final of the Tournament, against England, at Twickenham.
