Tomas Lavanini red card costly but fair, says disappointed Pumas coach RWC2019
TOKYO - Argentina coach Mario Ledesma said Tomas Lavanini’s dismissal in Saturday’s loss to England had effectively ended his team’s hopes of reaching the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals but he had no problem with the referee’s decision.
“It had a big impact because it was early in the game and I thought it was fair,” coach Ledesma told reporters after the 39-10 loss. The former hooker’s calm acceptance of the defeat was in marked contrast to his fury after their opening loss to France at the same stadium two weeks ago, when he blamed referee Angus Gardner for the narrow defeat.“In the first 15 minutes of the first half we put in a performance to get to the next stage, but after the red card our situation was severe,” he said.
