"French captain Manaé Feleu appeals three-week ban meted out following Sunday's World Cup win in Exeter"
"France will be without their captain Manae Feleu and flanker Axelle Berthoumieu for the remainder of the World Cup after both players were banned for acts of foul play during their controversial 18-13 win over Ireland on Saturday."
"Berthomieu has been suspended for 12 matches, reduced from 18, after she was found to have bitten Ireland back-row Aoife Wafer early in the second-half at Sandy Park."
Manae Feleu has appealed a three-week suspension imposed after the World Cup match in Exeter. Both Feleu and Axelle Berthoumieu were banned for acts of foul play during the controversial 18-13 win over Ireland. The bans rule both players out for the remainder of the tournament. Berthoumieu received a 12-match suspension, reduced from an initial 18-match sanction. The reduction followed a finding that she bit Ireland back-row Aoife Wafer early in the second half at Sandy Park. The disciplinary measures remove two key France players from selection for upcoming matches.
