Toulon were playing away to Bayonne in the Top 14 when the incident occurred. In the 72 second minute replacement centre Theo Dachary demanded that referee Pierre Baptiste Nuchy refer to the TMO after he was unhappy with a decision, with the result still in the balance at 35 – 29 with eight minutes left to go.

After the irate Dachary advanced on the referee, Italian legend Parisse grabbed the centre and pushed him away after put his hands on the referee’s shoulder, letting out a roar in the process.

Dachary wasn’t done though and had to be grabbed by All Blacks legend Ma’a Nonu, who didn’t look too impressed with his teamamate’s behaviour.

It was a fiery match, with three yellow cards doled out in the final 10 minutes. Toulon went on to the lose the game.

But it wasn’t done there, with Toulon head coach Patrice Collazo confronting the referee, after he felt Toulon had been too heavily penalised. He then took a pop at his own players after the game: “Even if in the second half, there was a collective reaction, it wasn’t is not a character issue. I think it’s mostly an investment problem… When you don’t want to tackle, you tackle high. As in the first half, we pretended to tackle, we expose ourselves.”

It is yet to be seen if Dachary will face any further punishment for his behaviour from the LNR, although both the actions of Parisse and Nonu likely stopped the incident from escalating further. Toulon currently sit fifth on the Top 14 ladder, with eight games played.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
