France boss criticises officials for not acting on Sean O'Brien 'assault' on Pape

France boss Philippe Saint-Andre has hit out at officials for failing to act on what he branded Sean O’Brien’s “assault” on Pascal Pape in Sunday’s 24-9 defeat to Ireland.

Ireland are watching nervously for any citing against flanker O’Brien, who appeared to strike France lock Pape in the first minute of the intense World Cup clash in Cardiff.
