Mathieu Bastareaud in action during Toulon’s 36-0 defeat of Benetton on Sunday
The Toulon captain, Mathieu Bastareaud, could face a lengthy suspension after he was cited for alleged verbal abuse following television footage which appeared to show him uttering a homophobic slur at an opponent during his side’s Champions Cup win over Benetton.

In the final minute of Toulon’s 36-0 win on Sunday Bastareaud appeared to call Sebastian Negri a “fucking faggot”. The relevant World Rugby regulation states that “verbal abuse includes, but is not limited to abuse based on: religion, colour, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation”. The minimum ban for verbal abuse is six weeks – the maximum is 12 months – and so, if Bastareaud is sanctioned, his participation for France during the Six Nations would be placed in jeopardy.

Bastareuad took to Twitter on Sunday evening to apologise for what he described as his “reaction to the insults of the Italian player” and his “bad reaction in response to the provocation”. Soon after however, European Professional Club Rugby, the governing body that runs the Champions Cup, confirmed that Bastareaud had been cited and will face a disciplinary hearing this week. During the incident, Bastareaud appeared to react as if provoked so it remains to be seen if any Benetton players will also be sanctioned.

In March 2015 the Waratahs forward Jacques Potgieter was fined $20,000 by the Australian union for a homophobic slur in a Super Rugby match against the Brumbies after it was brought to the attention of officials by David Pocock.

Think it is more of a Case of Bastareaud not being able to fully comprehend what he is saying when speaking in English, and shouting out the fastest response possible. Not great, especially as he was coming back to some kind of form.

Fuck off with that shit, bro. There were multiple, equally quick responses he could have come up with, and most of them don't involve shouting a derogatory term at someone. Would you be so quick to minimise what he said if it were racial in nature?

If your response, when being told to watch a "fucking swinging arm," is to shout "fucking faggot" at the person, you're either a stupid, dumb shit idiot fucking lunkhead moron, or an immature teenage dipshit who needs to gain some perspective. Considering that Matty is pushing 30, what's his fucking excuse?

More of an explanation than an excuse. Foreigner's aren't able to fully value their swearing.

He obviously knew enough to apologise about it afterwards. That kind of shit has no place on the pitch.

We agree. We also agree that when your team is 30 points there is no reason to get upset.

He will be sanctioned, I just believe the fact that he grew up without that as a "Nono" word should be taken into account. Yes when asked in a calm environment he knows what it means, but he has a limited insult stock when tensions go up.

That is a load of bullshit and you know it. Stop trying to excuse that pillock.

Not really, do you speak any other languages than English? If you do, you should be able to comprehend what I mean.
My main point is that you can't judge him along the same lines as Joe Marler & co.
