Toulon stars Sergio Parisse and Ma’a Nonu had to hold back their teammate Théo Dachary after he confronted a referee during Saturday’s Top 14 game against Bayonne.
Dachary was upset by the official’s decision late on in the game and after laying his hand on the referee’s shoulder he was pushed back by Parisse to avoid being punished.
All Blacks legend Nonu also jumped in to calm down Dachary and keep him away from the referee in the closing minutes of the game at Parcking Stade Jean Dauger.
