Rugby World Cup 2023 – The anger of Patrice Lagisquet (Portugal) after the exclusion of Vincent PintoRugby World Cup 2023 – The anger of Patrice Lagisquet (Portugal) after the exclusion of Vincent PintoRugby World Cup 2023 – The anger of Patrice Lagisquet (Portugal) after the exclusion of Vincent PintoRugby World Cup 2023 – The anger of Patrice Lagisquet (Portugal) after the exclusion of Vincent PintoRugby World Cup 2023 – The anger of Patrice Lagisquet (Portugal) after the exclusion of Vincent Pinto
Excluded at the very end of the match by the “bunker” rule, Portugal winger Vincent Pinto was defended by his coach Patrice Lagisquet, the latter paying for the match’s refereeing body.
And Vincent Pinto put his head in his hands, dejected, sad at the decision taken by the video referees to exclude him at the very end of the match. The Colomiers winger will therefore miss, at least, Portugal’s next match in this 2023 World Cup against Georgia, Saturday September 23. Without doubt the most important meeting for the Wolves in their quest for a first success in the World Cup.
How did we arrive at this decision? A few minutes before the end of the match against Wales, the helmeted winger was on the receiving end of a high ball. However, his analysis of the trajectory made him lose his balance in the air, and like an MMA fighter, he sent his right foot directly into the head of Josh Adams, who was waiting for him on the ground. First temporarily excluded, the bunker would review the decision and transform the yellow rusk into red as for the Englishman Curry and the New Zealander De Groot.
Frustrated by the defeat of his team facing a Welsh team far from being transcendent, the Portuguese coach Patrice Lagisquet did not appreciate this decision at all and explained it to journalists. “I don’t understand the change from yellow to red. Already, the player is in the air and it is the responsibility of the player who arrives not to touch him. In addition, he (Vincent Pinto) he turns and loses his balance in the air. He can get very hurt because after contact with his leg, he is close to landing on his head. That we can give a red card for that bothers me.”
“The worst decision I have ever seen”
Since the start of the World Cup, the decisions of video referees have been controversial, and this so-called bunker rule does not seem to be unanimously accepted. Ian Foster, the New Zealand coach lamented the lack of consistency from one match to the nexttaking as an example the red card against his pillar De Groot and the difference in treatment with the only yellow card addressed to Frenchman Romain Taofifenua: “We’re going to look into that. Obviously there was shoulder-to-shoulder contact, but the referees felt it deserved a red card. We’ll compare this to something else that happened yesterday (Thursday, during France – Uruguay, NDRL) and we’ll see what comes out of it. It was in the course of play. It’s not unusual. We have to take the time to analyze all that, but I think that between last night and this evening, it is the question of consistency that must be worked on from one match to the next. We’re going to review all of that. It takes time and energy.”.
Concerning Pinto, the English fanatic Andy Goode, known for his strong positions, expressed himself on the situation with his usual verbosity: “The worst decision I’ve ever seen was giving Pinto a red card after the bunker review. He falls backwards and loses his balance while looking away! What the hell?”

Always a sensitive subject but which comes up almost in every match, refereeing was not at all appreciated by Patrice Lagisquet. Reading between the lines, the former French international, finalist in the 1987 World Cup, felt wronged by the refereeing body. He explains : “I was also very annoyed by what happened on the sidelines: I had to shout so that we could replace our right pillar. We had asked twice and the fourth official told us blocked the change. It’s unacceptable. Inadmissible. And I’m going to check the last action because I think there is an obstruction from the Welsh 21 on our 21 which allows Faletau to leave on this rotating scrum without having a defender on the back. It would have deserved, at least, a video refereeing. We ask ourselves a few questions.”
