Oh no! This showboating Treviso scrum-half should be cut right away for this bit of butchering

Think of the worst missed try-scoring chance you’ve seen, and then double it.

CHRISTOPHE DOMINICI WAS one of France’s greatest ever wings but despite scoring 25 tries at international level, he is probably best remembered for one he didn’t get. Italy were beaten 25-0 by Les Bleus back in 2004 but the Stade flyer received a lot of stick for making a hash of this easy chance.

Bernard Laporte’s reaction at the time was exactly what you would expect from Bernard Laporte:

“It was unacceptable and an imbecilic thing to do. It’s a lack of respect for the team, for all the work that has been done during the week and for himself. It’s a professional fault but you cannot ban a player for life because of a mistake, however stupid it was,” he said to the BBC. 

Treviso scrum-half  Henry Senioli probably got a similar bollocking after his error yesterday. With Treviso leading 13-3 against the Scarlets, Senioli had an easy chance to put another try on the board.

Why he decided to do this… only he knows.

Of course, the Welsh side went on to win 17-13 so Senioli’s howler ended up costing his team the game. Christophe Dominici is probably delighted that someone has taken the spotlight off him 11 years on.

    Even when on the bench he didn’t get game time. The coach doesn’t like or trust him. Saturday once again showed just how wrong O’connor has been all season

    O’Connor is just all wrong for Leinster.

    He has a very big chance next season with Leinster during the World Cup, midfield won’t be as competitive so he should get a good run of matches.

    Mark if Darcy doesn’t make the World Cup squad, he’ll play 12 with t’eo at 13. Then Madigan and sexton will be back so the midfield won’t be as easy to get into as you may think

    It’s always to easy to see who coaches ‘just like/don’t like’. When Gopperth played badly it was ignored whereas when Madigan played mediocre or even if Reid played well decisions went against them.

    It creates such a poisonous culture as some players start to feel entitled to spots and others feel it doesn’t matter how well they play they won’t get picked. Cody and Fergusson were masters at disregarding players identities and judging on match performance alone. MOC is such a stink manager.
