If you find the rules of rugby complicated, know that even the best players in this sport or worldwide are not totally aware of every subtlety… This Sunday, during UBB’s resounding win against Stade Français with (40-10), international winger Damian Penaud received a yellow card in the 32 minute during the game, after bringing the ball back into his own half to prevent a pass after contact from Jeremy Ward, who had just fallen to the ground.
The 29-year-old player initially contested the decision and then admitted it, with his usual candor, to Canal+, that he was unaware of the game rule. “I went to ask for an explanation at the halftime because I didn’t know it ,” he said with a smile. ” I’ll know for next time!”
