Did France loose forward Oscar Jegou eye-gouge Scotland prop Ewan Ashman during Saturday’s Six Nations match at Murrayfield?
The incident took place in the 59th minute before winger Darcy Graham crossed for his second try.
No action was taken by referee Angus Gardner nor was it flagged to him by the TMO.

“It definitely should have been looked at,” former Test referee Nigel Owens said on the BBC’s coverage. “It doesn’t look good, to be honest.
“Looking at that footage, that player is going to be in a bit of trouble. There will be a process in place now to deal with that, but it should have been looked at it in the game, because it is quite clear what the actions were.
“It was a great game of rugby and it didn’t really matter in the context of the game, but on another day, in games where the score is tight, things like this are the ones where you really want the TMO to come in, for the clear and obvious. Even if they look at it and then decide.”
