# Rugby: Former Australia rugby union captain Rocky Elsom was handed a two-year prison sentence by a French court after being found guilty of misusing corporate funds. The 42-year-old was also fined 1,9 million-rand – half of which was suspended – and ordered to pay 4,7 million-rand compensation to the liquidator of the Narbonne rugby club where he was president between 2015 and 2016. Elsom’s lawyer, Yann Le Bras, said that he would appeal the sentence. He said he have submitted serious procedural issues and evidence to the court that would allow Rocky Elsom to be acquitted.
