Maso backing Baby

France team manager Jo Maso has given his full backing to Benoit Baby after the centre was cited by the independent match commissioner during Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations match with Ireland in Dublin.

Baby, who was making his international debut for France, allegedly headbutted Brian O’Driscoll in the 47th minute of Les Bleus’ 26-19 win over the Irish at Lansdowne Road.
