Pau 24 -- Toulon 23
A scandalous match with an amateur referee,
with few professional games behind him. At
the beginning of the match he whistled a
mysterious and too quicky penalty try against
Toulon.
Few minutes later he yellow carded George
Gregan for talking too much, Gregan was
constantly attacked on the rucks and the ref
was blind.
The Pau team made its match-of-the-year and
wanted to win against the leader, after
having lost against Agen or Racing Paris.
Then just before the half-time, the flanker
Costanzo of Pau rumble on Toulon's hooker
Philip Fitzgerald who was not offside because
there was no maul.
The following is a total crunch for 3
minutes, even the benches enters on the
fight.
Tana Umaga came on the field to quiet the
situation, carrying water and calm down the
round and refused to listen to the referee
whose asking him to go out. And he will be
red carded for that !
The results of the fight was :
- A yellow card for the Pau's flanker Damien
Costanzo who light on the fight.
- A yellow card to Toulon's hooker Philip
Fitzgerald for fight
- An unbelievable red card for Tana Umaga !
- A red card for Saimone Taumoepeau for kick
on a man on the ground, things that Saimone
never did.
Toulon started the second half time at 12
players versus 14, and finished with 14
players vs 16 on the field, counting the ref
with a Pau shirt.
At the 72th minute, the referee won't accept
a try of Toulon's center Mafi Kefu.
Andrew Mehrtens will miss a drop at the 78th.
And a lot to say on amateurs referees past
months on French Second Division games. And
Toulon is not the only club to criticise
this, Racing president, and others clubs did
the same.
On the video you can see 4 Toulon's players
on a Pau player. But joined screenshots of
another TV also shows 4 Pau's on 1 Toulon
winger...
Agen 15 - Mont de Marsan 15
A very hard, limit brutal game. With little
fights but nothing serious. I saw it on TV,
the Agen's hooker Djalil Narjissi is known
for his provocations but, last week end, he
headbutted, punched etc... all the match,
from the first to the last minute, and just
have a yellow card as a montois who just
can't get enough and who have been sin binned
with...
One more time the referee was inconstent, he
could never slow down the overexcited players
and as usual, it get high to the meltdown.
Just after the end of the match, Narjissi and
a montois starts the third round. As fans
were running on the field (it's usual on a
lot of little stadiums in France to celebrate
the players). That will quickly begin a
scandalous rumble. Few fans enters on the
ring to fight. A montois player is seriously
injured to the eye, his career could end
there. An Agen's fan seems to be known by the
stadium security, have been injured and
transported to the hospital. Narjissi
firstable denied having spit on a montois,
saying he had been agressed during all the
game, then he changed his declaration to
admit that he spit but didn't want to shot
the player....
All that you never want to see on a rugby
field. All happened with incompetent amateurs
referees.
