It was like something straight out of a wrestling arena.

Friday saw the French U-20 team suffer their first defeat at the Six Nations, losing 22-6 to England, but during a particularly trying scrum, things ended with a shocking tackle by the French side. Two of the French players, Hassane Kolingar and Pierre-Henry Azagoh, effectively picked up English player Fraser Dingwall, and pile-driver'd him out of the scrum and into the pitch. https://twitter.com/greub1/status/972227820402470912 https://twitter.com/bencoles_/status/972387599301033985 The tackle resulted in both the players instantly receiving a red card from the referee, and some viewers are expecting further repercussions to their actions. https://twitter.com/bencoles_/status/972394294886785025 https://twitter.com/Ken_Stanley/status/972396781299486721 https://twitter.com/Sara_Orchard/status/972352146330079232 https://twitter.com/WelshDalaiLama/status/972264171290218496 Main image via Twitter Ireland are to play the English side next week, with a potential win the competition should they emerge victorious from the game.
