Racism: Keletaona and the Bleuets file a complaint
The incident during France's 57-32 victory prompted the team to file a complaint with World Rugby.
Luka Keletaona, the Bleuets fly half, denounced racist insults made by a Spanish player during France's crushing victory (57-32) against Spain in the U20 World Cup in Georgia. This serious incident immediately triggered a reaction within the French camp, threatening to overshadow an otherwise dominant sporting performance. The match, played on Georgian soil, saw France impose its law with a winning score of 57-32.
However, attention shifted from the game to unacceptable actions reported by Keletaona. The opener pointed out racist remarks coming from the opposing camp, an accusation that the French federation takes very seriously. Direct consequence: the French team is actively preparing to file an official complaint with World to demand accountability for this act which contravenes the most basic values of sport.
