Sergio Parisse red card: Former Italy captain dismissed for spear tackle

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.
