In a wild match, Stade Francais saw two players red-carded in just four minutes, with one tackle likened to a WWE move that shocked fans and players alike
Limerick: So, you won’t believe what happened during the rugby match at Thomond Park! Stade Francais had a crazy moment where two players got red cards in just four minutes. One of the tackles was so wild that it was compared to something you’d see in WWE!
Baptiste Pesenti, a huge lock, picked up Munster’s Craig Casey, who’s a whole foot shorter, and flipped him upside down before slamming him to the ground. It looked dangerous, and the ref, Luke Pearce, didn’t hesitate to pull out the red card after seeing the replay.
The crowd went wild when they saw it happen. Munster players were throwing their arms up in disbelief. Fans on social media had mixed feelings, with some saying it should have just been a penalty instead of a red card. They argued that Casey landed safely and there was no head contact.
But that wasn’t the end of it! Just four minutes earlier, Stade Francais had already lost another player to a red card. Pierre-Henri Azagoh clothes-lined Peter O’Mahony, which caused a bit of a scuffle on the field. O’Mahony wasn’t having any of it, and things got heated.
In the end, Munster took advantage of the situation and won the match easily, finishing with a score of 33-7. What a game!
