Northampton director of rugby Phil Dowson accused Bordeaux-Begles’ players of being “out of order” after Henry Pollock appeared to be grabbed around the neck on the final whistle of Saints’ Champions Cup final defeat on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n
“There was a fracas at the end, there was foul play involved,” Dowson said.<\/p>\n
“Henry Pollock was particularly upset by it because I think it was uncalled for and out of order. He reacted, and the officials have told me that they will deal with it.”<\/p>\n
Pollock, 20, was confronted by Bordeaux prop Jefferson Poirot after an argument with fly-half Mathieu Jalibert following the French side’s 28-20 victory in Cardiff.<\/a><\/p>\n “I told him that he didn’t know our club,” said Jalibert. “They said some things in the press which we didn’t really appreciate.<\/p>\n “They said that we were a club of mercenaries who are here for the money. I just told him that he doesn’t know our history, where we came from and that he must respect all clubs.<\/p>\n “I know it is their way of preparing for matches, but they must have respect too.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
