Jaco Peyper poses with Wales fansWorld Rugby has opened an investigation after South African referee Jaco Peyper appeared to mock sent-off France lock Sebastien Vahaamahina in a picture with Wales fans. In the picture Peyper's elbow is raised into a fan's chin hours after he sent off Vahaamahina for elbowing Aaron Wainwright in Wales' quarter-final win. World Rugby said: "World Rugby is aware of a picture on social media of referee Jaco Peyper with a group of Wales fans taken after last night's [Sunday] quarter-final between Wales and France in Oita. Wales coach Warren Gatland said he was aware of the picture of Peyper with Wales fans. He's had his 50th cap, he's posing with a few fans and he's making a bit of a joke about the incident in the game.
