Chloe Bertroumieu’s bite Incident
The disciplinary action against Ireland’s Chloe Bertroumieu stems from an alleged biting incident during Ireland’s 18-13 defeat against France on april 27, 2024, at Sandy Park in Exeter, England. The incident occurred as Ireland won a penalty turnover in the second half of the match.
Ireland captain Sam monaghan reported the incident to referee Aimee Barrett-Theron during the game, but no immediate action was taken. An Independent Foul Play Review Committee (FPRC) subsequently reviewed the footage.
The FPRC persistent that while the television match official (TMO) could not identify “clear and obvious foul play” during the live match,sufficient evidence existed through broadcast angles and writen submissions to warrant a hearing. France ultimately won the match, securing a semi-final berth against England at Ashton Gate.
