This was a ridiculous red card to give away.
Stade Francais took on neighbours Racing 92 in a Parian Champions Cup derby match last Saturday. The meeting was the first of two legs in the round of 16 knock-out stage between the sides.
Racing 92 came away 22-9 winners over Stade in the end. French standout centre Gael Fikou came away with the player of the match award and the only try of the game when he went over in the 63rd minute. The rest of the points came from the boot of Nolann Le Garrec for Racing and Nicolas Sanchez for Stade Francais.
One big talking point of the game came from a ridiculous red card conceded by substitute Stade hooker, Tolu Latu in the 67th minute. Latu only entered the field in the 47th minute after he replaced Laurent Panis. Latu only lasted 20 minutes, when he was red carded by referee Luke Pearse.
Racing lock Baptsite Chouzenoux leaped into the air to claim the ball and Latu took Chouzenoux’s legs out from under him and he landed on his neck. That was an incredibly dangerous piece of play from Latu and he was rightfully red carded. Many fans were disgusted with the behaviour and play from Latu.
