An early loss for the XV of France like Tevita Tatafu a week ago against the All Blacks. Jean-Baptiste Gros was forced to leave his partners from the 4^e minute of the match against Argentina, this Friday, November 22. The Toulonnais was replaced by Reda Wardi while he touched his right leg while leaving the field with difficulty.

Jean-Baptiste Gros injured

This injury to the left pillar of the Blues is not trivial. On the action which preceded his release, Jean-Baptiste Gros suffered a anti-gambling act on a ruck. While the French team had the ball, the RCT player came to support in the regrouping to ensure conservation.

At that moment, Julian Montoya grabbed Jean-Baptiste Gros from above while pressing with his shoulder on the Frenchman's knee to knock him down. A bad gesture called croc roll or crocodile rolling.

Yellow card against Argentina

The match referee did not immediately notice this unfair act. With the assistance of the video referee, Luke Pearce returned to this action and decided to penalize the Argentinians and to sanction the Pumas hooker with a yellow card.

After the decision from the bunker, Julian Montoya retained this sanction which did not turn into a red card.
