The shame tackle (1/10).
“
I had never seen that!
Never seen that!
Something ... Fortunately he takes it there.
If he takes him there, he can kill him.
"The strong remarks emanate from Christophe Urios after the hallucinatory tackle of Ryno Pierterse on Maxime Lucu during the meeting between Castres and Bordeaux-Bègles on Saturday during the third day of Top 14 (23-23).
The Bordeaux coach did not hide his anger after seeing the fear fade by learning good news about the health of his player.

in the North derby (0/10).
A match postponed by nearly 40 minutes after the invasion on the lawn of various supporters during the derby between Lens and Lille on Saturday. For a pathetic, dangerous and ridiculous spectacle. And scenes that recall the poor sequence seen a few weeks earlier between Nice and OM on the Côte d'Azur. While all parties have condemned such acts, which were quickly calmed down by the intervention of the police, strong decisions must be taken. The LFP, far too permissive and docile in view of the sanctions imposed previously, must strike hard. Stadium ban for several years for the offenders, loss of point for the clubs incriminated so as to clean the stands. Before arriving at a drama that everyone will regret.Zero tolerance is demanded on this hot topic that plagues French football.
