Idiot.
Sale Sharks currently lead La Rochelle 10-7 in the Champions Cup round two pool clash – but the rugby has just been overshadowed by a moment of absolute stupidity that has no place in the game.
Hooker Pierre Bourgarit was sent-off after he got involved in an altercation between the two sides by eye-gouging England flanker Tom Curry.
"That's madness of a Vahaamahina level."
Absolutely stupid, and infuriatingly dangerous 😡

No place for that on a rugby pitch. Goodbye.#HeinekenChampionsCup pic.twitter.com/S9x2qbN2jc

Luckily the Sale Sharks man wasn’t injured too badly, but what a stupid and dangerous thing to do. He wasn’t even involved in the scuffle.

No place for that on a rugby pitch. Insane.
