Watch: Thibaud Flament shows why you shouldn't jump into tackles
- 3146
Toulouse's Thibaud Flament was lucky not eat full mouth of grass during his side's clash with Brive.
The forward jumped into a tackle and was sent flying into the air and managed to hit the ground with his shoulder, avoiding a face plant into the pitch.
While this should have resulted in a penalty for Brive, Flament was also lucky not be sanctioned as they simply played on with Brive turning over the ball soon after and clearing out of their 22.
Not the smartest way to avoid a tackle 😂 https://t.co/TeJytj4AGB
