“We spoke together. He told me he understood and apologized to the players and the management team,” Galthie said at a press conference addressing the 16-time international.
A 29-year-old rugby player was jailed for a year in court last week as punishment for hitting his wife. He appealed the sentence and is now free. According to media reports, Haouas hit his wife in a shopping center after seeing her smoking. A video of him chasing her after his wife falls to the ground has surfaced on social media. He then hits her and drags her away.
“She can smoke, but the problem is that she lied to me. I thought to myself that if she doesn’t tell me the truth about smoking, she can lie to me about other things as well,” said Haouas, who had previously urged the woman to stop smoking.
Because of the violence he committed against his wife, he also came to the planned three-year engagement in Clermont.
Haouas has already been convicted in the past for his part in a series of burglaries in tobacco shops and also for a fight in a bakery. Each time he received a suspended sentence.
