French prop’s court saga continues

France prop Mohamed Haouas will be back in court in May charged with “wilful violence” in an incident on New Year’s Day 2014 after a court refused that he be represented by his lawyer.

The 28-year-old was, along with five others, then summoned for wilful violence in a hearing on Friday before the criminal court of Montpellier relating to a fight in a bakery.His lawyer Marc Gallix told the hearing that Haouas was “at training” on Friday morning before flying to Wales later in the day as his club Montpellier take on Ospreys in the Champions Cup on Saturday.

Prosecutor Alain Octuvon-Bazile also considered that preparation for the Champions Cup match did not justify Haouas’ absence.Judge Anne-Flore Lebondidier, while recognising that the facts were old, considered “a personal appearance necessary”.
