Betsen in the dock

Just to really ruin Serge Betsen’s week, the battle-scarred flanker who was in tears after France’s World Cup semi-final defeat to England will have to attend a disciplinary hearing.

Betsen was today cited for allegedly kicking out at an unnamed England player during yesterday’s semi-final defeat at Telstra Stadium and he faces a hearing on Wednesday which will determine whether he can play in Thursday’s third-place play-off against New Zealand.
