ONE THING THAT all fans can agree on is that diving needs to be dealt with sternly in rugby. Toulouse vs Bath was a great game yesterday but one incident involving Toulouse wing Yoann Huget and his opposite number Horacio Agulla almost soured the exciting spectacle.
It is a little hard to make out in this clip, but Huget flopped dramatically to the ground clutching his face after Agulla made minimal contact with the Frenchman’s chest.

It would be a great step if the authorities cited Huget for diving because referees have a hard enough job as it is without players trying to deceive them with cheap tactics.
People on Twitter reacted angrily to Huget’s antics.
Whoops!
