Video: Parisse gets harsh red for Stade as Jackson makes on Top 14 debut
By Online Editors
Stade Francais made picked up maximum points in a 46-15 win at Perpignan, despite number eight Sergio Parisse getting sent off late in the first half.
The Italy captain's red card came in the 36th minute for leading with the elbow, the decision to give him his marching orders came after a long deliberation by match officials.
Stade had already built a solid 29-3 lead at that stage, rattling off four tries - two from flanker Sekou Macalou, with full-back Kylan Hamdaoui and centre Waisea Nayacalevu also scoring.
Ireland and Ulster cast-off Paddy Jackson, who was making his Top 14 debut for newly-promoted Perpignan, helped sparked a mini-revival scoring a try in the 53rd minute, with a penalty try following on the mark to trail 29-15.
But Stade responded with 17 more unanswered points, including a second for Hamdaoui and a try by South African scrum-half Piet van Zyl.

Don't think you've watched enough. But let's see how the future pans out. I'm quietly confident we have a row of 10's lined uo who would each start in many really good teams.
Go to commentsHopefully Joe stays where he is. That would mean Les, McKellar, larkham and Cron should as well. It’s the stability we need in the state programs. But, if Joe goes, RA with its current financial situation will be forced into promoting from within. And this will likely destabilise other areas.
To better understand some of the entrenched bitterness of those outside of NZ and NSW (as an example 😂), Nic, there is probably a comparison to the old hard heads of welsh rugby who are still stuck in the 1970s. Before the days where clubs merged, professionalism started, and the many sharp knives were put into the backs of those who loved the game more than everyone else. I’m sure you know a few... But given your comparison of rugby in both wales and Australia, there are a few north of the tweed that will never trust a kiwi or NSWelshman because of historical events and issues over the history of the game. It is what it is. For some, time does not heal all wounds. And it is still festering away in some people. Happy holidays to you. All the best in 2025.
