On 17 July 2021, in the fifth minute of the third test between Australia and France, Marika Koroibete was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Jelonch. The red card was later rescinded by the World Rugby judiciary, who made the following finding, "No contact is made by the Player (Koroibete) on the French player higher than the neck region... The French player grabs at his face and falls to the ground but no contact was made in the tackle by the Player to the area he grabbed." In the view of the three-person committee, Jelonch was acting. Despite this incident, Australia went on to win the match 33-30, and the series 2-1.
