France's Peato Mauvaka cited for yellow-carded Ben White incident

The 2025 Guinness Six Nations isn’t over for Peato Mauvaka as the France hooker has been summoned to attend a disciplinary hearing this Thursday following his yellow-carded incident with Scotland’s Ben White.

There were 20 minutes played at the Stade de France last Saturday night when the French front-rower was sin-binned for foul play against the Scottish scrum-half. The incident sparked much debate, with plenty of fans feeling that Mauvaka should have been red-carded for leading with his head in the off the ball collision.

A Six Nations statement read: “France No2 Peato Mauvaka will attend an independent disciplinary hearing after he was cited for an act of foul play contrary to law 9.12 (A player must not…. strike with any part of the arm, shoulder, head or knee(s)) in the Guinness Six Nations match between France and Scotland on Saturday, March 15.

“The player will attend the hearing via video conference before an independent disciplinary committee consisting of Jennifer Donovan (chair, Ireland), with the other two disciplinary committee members to be confirmed in due course. The hearing will take place on Thursday, March 20, at 10am (GMT).”

France went on to win last Saturday’s round five match 35-16 to clinch the 2025 championship title. They finished one point ahead of England on the table and two clear of Ireland, the 2023 and 2024 back-to-back champions.

Really don’t know how the officials messed this one up on the day. Surely, the force of the impact should not matter when it’s an intentional head butt. Straight red all day long.

Intentional violent conduct after play had stopped. Tackle protocols don’t come into it. Straight red no question, apart from how did Tempest & Carley get it so wrong?

Clearly Galthies public disinformation, intimidation and threats to officials and players had a chilling effect on the officiating for this violent hit. Glad to see he is getting cited.

“Player Welfare Hero” Galthie’s silence is no surprise obviously.

Decisions like that genuinely undermine the sporting integrity of the competition. Freeman’s try being ‘grounded’ is another example that leaves you wondering how the referees reach their decisions in contradiction to what everyone else is seeing. Must do better with the tmo set up.

Intentional

After the whistle

Dirty

Dangerous


Checks all the criteria for a red card and a lengthy ban. Compare this to other incidents where there are accidental tackles to the head and it’s a complete and utter farce.


Rugby officials need a hard look at themselves and be more consistent. Otherwise we’ll have more and more important games ruined by bad refereeing decisions, e.g. tournament finals or series deciders.


No word from “Welding Glasses” Galthie yet!?

He reeks of self pity and is a walking contradiction. He’d be better off keeping his mouth shut last week as his silence this week in the Mauvaka incident is deafening.

Mauvaka cited but not the Irish players? Lol

R
RedWarriors 29 days ago

The Irish players did nothing wrong. Mauvaka attempted a head butt. The citing process occurs via the citing commission. Not via the whims of disinformation merchants like Galthie. He already publicly lied about the Ntamack/Ringrose cases. He has no credibility.

Are you trying to compare an accidental unfortunate clear out to an intentional diving headbutt???

Exactly

Better late than never, but I could not understand a nonn rugby incident while play was stopped being judged as if it was a tackle during the match. France probably still winning if he was sent off. But ………….

Galthie’s public disinformation and threats had a chilling effect on the officiating in Paris. That’s all I can think of.

Why the Brumbies are still the best team in Australia

The Curse of Mayo ! In 1951, the Gaelic football team from County Mayo won the coveted Sam Maguire Cup in the All Ireland final at Croke Park in Dublin. Returning home to the western county in Connacht, in a open lorry, and in high spirits, they rolled into the little village of Foxford. Ireland was then a very different country to now, with ancient traditions and superstitions still strong, and the power of the priest supreme.


A funeral procession, headed by the local priest, was in progress to the chapel.The team should have fallen silent, got off the lorry, and paid their respects. They did not, carrying on through the village in full voice. I cold fury, the local priest is said to have cried out: “Damnation be upon every one of you ! As long as you all shall live, Mayo will never win another All Ireland “ And indeed in the 74 years since that day, Mayo have reached 11 finals, and lost every time ! The last man from the cursed team died in 1921, at 95 years of age, so Mayo may soon win again.


I wonder is Qld. also a cursed side ? I recall an article you wrote several years ago, Nick. George Smith had come to play for Qld. after retiring from International rugby, and fresh from a very successful stint at Wasps. Qld. we all thought, would reign supreme. They did not. Apart from the one good year under Brad Thorn, they do seem to me, with my Irish blood, and having lived in Africa where the curse is still alive and kicking, to be under a one such.
