It's safe to say referee Wayne Barnes got a little too close to on-field rugby matters when taking charge of Saracens v Sale Sharks, as he clattered into Sarries scrum-half Ivan van Zyl.
It was a big day by all accounts on Sunday afternoon as Sarries' legendary full-back Alex Goode became the club's most-capped player with 339 appearances. He marked the occasion with a 12-point haul and instrumental kick assist, but wasn't the only one to steal some of the limelight.
TV cameras honed in after van Zyl took a pass from flanker Ben Earl before shaping up to pass into Goode. However, Barnes couldn't get out of the way in time and the pair collided. Van Zyl exclaimed "f***!" as the two made contact. Thankfully the commentators saw the funny side of it, before apologising to viewers for the swearing.
