Leigh hooker Eloi Pelissier has become the latest player to be sent home from the World Cup.
Hot on the heels of Scotland axing skipper Danny Brough and team-mates Sam Brooks and Johnny Walker for misconduct, Press Association Sport understands that Pelissier has been similarly punished for breaking a team curfew.
Pelissier, 26, who joined Leigh from Catalans Dragons just over 12 months ago, played in France's 52-6 defeat by Australia in Canberra on Friday and was expected to face England in the final Group A match in Perth next Sunday.
It is the second disciplinary breach for the French, who left Hull utility player Hakim Miloudi behind for disciplinary reasons after he played in their warm-up match against Jamaica in Perpignan.
