Sergio Parisse red card from today.
After being sent off in Toulon's Top 14 match against Toulouse, Italian rugby legend Parisse is expected to be out of action for a while.
Despite Toulon's 17-6 win over Toulouse on Saturday evening, Parisse's red card may result in a lengthy suspension.
The 39-year-old was sent off in the 34th minute after lifting centre Pierre-Louis Barassi and forcefully driving him into the ground.
