Lesley Vainikolo loses his temper against Munster

Earlier today, in the Heineken Cup Quarter Final match between Munster and Gloucester, we saw Lesley Vainikolo’s bad side. No, I’m not referring to his hair, although that also needs some attention.

The big occasion understandably had everyone pumped up, but for whatever reason Big Les decided to fling Rua Tipoki to the ground unnecessarily. I personally couldn’t see what Tipoki did initially, but it looks like the big English winger took exception to something, which then started a series of scuffles with the Munster players, and even had one of the commentators accusing Tipoki of poking Vainikolo in the eye.

So as it turns out, Big Les has a big temper, and it doesn’t take much to get him rattled.
