Northampton is urging Champions Cup officials to investigate a post-game incident involving young player Henry Pollock, following a fracas after Bordeaux's victory. Saints' director of rugby Phil Dowson expressed disappointment over the actions of Bordeaux players, claiming Pollock was a victim of foul play. Reports indicated that altercations began between players, which led to multiple Bordeaux team members getting involved. Dowson emphasized his pride in the player’s resilience despite injuries. Saints may file a formal complaint if no investigation occurs, underscoring the need for proper conduct in such high-stakes games.
There was a fracas at the end, there was foul play involved and I have been assured the touch judge has seen it and will deal with it appropriately.
Henry Pollock was particularly upset by it because it was uncalled for and out of order and so he reacted.
If you have just won a European Cup I'm surprised if the first thing you want to do is start a fight with a 20-year-old.
There were a couple of moments when boys potentially didn't adhere to those things and that's going to spark a reaction.
