Italy legend Sergio Parisse was shown a red card at the weekend, and was filmed crying in the changing rooms following his dismissal.
The incident occurred in a Top 14 match between French giants Toulon and Toulouse. The former Azzurri captain has been plying his trade for Toulon since his retirement from the national side after the 2019 Rugby World Cup, he spent the majority of his career with Stade Francais.
Veteran Parisse spear tackled Toulouse centre Pierre-Louis Barassi after 30 minutes, and upon review was promptly given his marching orders, shaking hands with referee Pierre-Baptiste Nuchy before leaving the field of play. The 39-year-old was clearly emotional in the changing rooms, but that wasn't all down to his dismissal.
