Personal life

Haouas was born in France and is of Algerian descent. [4]

Haouas faced several legal troubles. On 4 February 2022, Haouas was sentenced for his role in a series of burglaries of tobacco merchants in France in 2014. He was handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence and fined the equivalent of £13,000. [5]

On 12 May 2023, he received a 2-year suspended prison sentence for a violent brawl in a bakery after leaving a nightclub in 2014.

On 30 May 2023, he was brought up for immediate trial and received a one-year prison sentence, after hitting his wife in public. Haouas reportedly chased, tripped and slapped his wife outside a shopping centre in Montpellier the week before the trial. [6] Following the verdict, his intended club Clermont – for whom he signed a contract ahead of the 2023–24 Top 14 season – released a statement saying Haouas "will not be able to wear the colours" of the club. The French Rugby Federation also stated that Haouas's behaviour was "unacceptable and incompatible with the representation of [the] nation at the international level." [7]
