Justin Marshall joined Montpellier from the Ospreys last summer
|
Former New Zealand scrum-half Justin Marshall has been suspended by his club Montpellier after allegedly refusing to go on as a late replacement.
The incident occurred towards the end of Montpellier's 34-0 loss away to Toulouse in the Top 14 last Saturday.
Marshall, 35, joined the French side last July after a surprise exit from Welsh region the Ospreys.
General manager Denis Navizet told AFP that: "We will make a decision about his future in the coming days."
Marshall has been left out of the Montpellier squad for this weekend's match with Clermont.

606: DEBATE

The scrum-half joined the Ospreys in April 2006 from Leeds Tykes, after they were relegated from the Guinness Premiership.
Marshall signed a contract extension the following year, agreeing a deal to take him until the end of the 2008/9 season but then signed for Montpellier mid-contract.
He won 77 caps for the All Blacks during his international career and helped Canterbury Crusaders to win the Super 12 championship - now the Super 14 - on four occasions.
