After having reviewed the images of the action that led to the expulsion of the third line of the XV of France, last Saturday with France A against England A, the independent discipline commission in charge of the file decided to remove its red card at Cameron Woki.
No red card for Cameron Woki. Expelled last Saturday with France A against England A on the lawn of Twickenham for a clearing in the head of an opponent during the victory of the Blues’ tear against the XV of the rose (26-24), the third line of the XV of France had refused the sanction that had proposed a examination commission of the unfair game, this famous independent instant composed of three people imagined Disciplinary procedure wanted by World Rugby, who decided to test it in accelerated this summer.
Consequently, the case was referred to an independent disciplinary committee, which in turn looked at the file. She especially re-examined the images of this action which had earned the Racing 92 player who will find from next season the Gironde and the Union Bègles-Bordeaux, where he had made his big professional debut, to be definitively expelled after the passage through the bunker.
Woki on the plane for New Zealand?
Great good did him since after having reviewed the available images (and benefiting from additional angles), the commission in question judged that the intervention of the one in which Fabien Galkié had immediately seen enormous qualities in the second line – to the point of repositioning it – and which had first received a twenty -minute red card last Saturday (for “unfair game”) did not deserve a red card.
“The action did not have a high degree of danger”estimated the commission, which at the same time authorized Woki to play the next games.
After winning, the native of Saint-Denis could therefore be part of the French group who will fly this Tuesday for New Zealand Tuesday, where three games against All Blacks are waiting for the Blues as part of the summer tour. This would probably not have been the case if his gesture last weekend against the English had earned him one or two suspension games. But it is now ancient history. And we know today that Woki did well to decline its prior sanction.
