Jerome Fillol cited for spitting incident

Jerome Fillol has been cited for allegedly spitting at Peter Stringer during their Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final on Saturday.
Stringer complained to referee Nigel Owens following the incident but the Welsh referee replied he didn't see it and could only act on what he saw as the European competition doesn't yet support the extended Television Match Official powers.
However, TV replays appeared to confirm Stringer's accusation and the Stade Francais scrum-half has been cited after the game for an “act contrary to good sportsmanship”.
Stringer commented on personal Twitter account saying: “That's as low as you can probably go. When you are on the end of something like that you are rattled by it, but try not to dwell on it. It's out of my hands now.”
Fillol's sanction could range from four to 52 weeks and will be heard in Dublin on April 11.
