France Rugby plans to impose strict discipline

“The historical pattern that existed for years, based on empowerment, accountability does not work,” Grill told AFP, revealing that “a plan, in which there will be controls and sanctions” will be unveiled in the coming days.

“The framework was not clear and a form of flexible structure was even admitted,” he explained of the approach until now.

“We are setting a clear framework which will then allow sanctions to be imposed. And we will not have a hand that trembles.”

In July, France players Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, both 21, were charged with aggravated rape after winning their first international caps against Argentina.

The pair were arrested after a 39-year-old woman alleged they viciously assaulted her in a hotel room hours after defeating Los Pumas in Mendoza.
