WHAT HAPPENS IN THE VIDEO

In the video, Haouas can be seen chasing his wife, Imane, through a door before kicking her legs. She topples over and he hits her in the head. The France star then picks her up by her t-shirt and escorts her away.

The 16-cap Frenchman was banned for four weeks during the Six Nations for head-butting Scotland’s Ben White, and was banned for three weeks in 2020 for punching Scotland’s Jamie Ritchie.

The player was also handed an 18-month suspended sentence and fined 15 000 euros (£12 900) in 2022 for a series of burglaries in 2014.
