Pascal Pape is no stranger to controversy.
The French lock has found himself embroiled in it plenty of times throughout his career, including smashing into Ireland’s Jamie Heaslip and leaving him with a fractured vertebrae, and of course we can’t forget that famous Sean O’Brien punch on Pape at last year’s Rugby World Cup.
On that day Pape hit the ground like a ton of bricks and it seems he was up to his own tricks once again last night as his side, Stade Francais, took on Edinburgh.hil Burleigh was sent-off for slapping Pape in the face. While needless, it wasn’t exactly a punch. Nonetheless, poor Pascal felt its brute force, and gave his his best performance.
Take a look below it’s blood hilarious.
