Saracens and England backrow Ben Earl is regarded as one of the most dynamic players in the game today.
Ultra physical in the tackle, dynamic in the carry and a bundle of energy around the park, it is clear to see why his teammates rely on him in the big moments.
Speaking about the energy Earl brings to proceedings, he has gathered quite the reputation for his routine celebrations at just about every little win that goes his team’s way.
Thus, it was quite amusing today to see the 26-year-old take exception to Stade Francais’s celebration of a scrum penalty in today’s Investec Champions Cup clash.

Coming out hot today, Stade looked like they were going to upset the apple cart and overturn their Premiership visitors.
Taking an early lead through winger Peniasi Dakuwaqa in the third minute, Stade showed just how lethal they are when in flow.
Unfortunately for Paul Gustard’s side, his backrow Sekou Macalou lost his mind to receive one of the most clean-cut red cards you will see.

Since then, Sarries have flexed their muscles and now lead 18 – 10 with just under fifty minutes played.
