Fillol facing disciplinary rap as Stringer enraged by spit incident

Stade Francais’ Jerome Fillol looks set to become the first professional player to be cited for spitting at an opponent.

Television cameras caught the French scrum-half spitting in the face of former Ireland scrum-half Peter Stringer during the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final at The Rec on Saturday.

Stringer admitted to being “disgusted and angry” at the incident which marred his side’s defeat.
