Last night Racing Metro secured their place in the Orange Top 14 semi-finals with a 21-16 win over Toulouse at the Stade Ernest Wallon.
It was a seriously physical and intense game, with Florian Fritz sustaining a serious blow to the head from the knee of Francois van der Merwe in the first half.
The french centre appeared to have suffered a serious gash and to be dazed by his surroundings after the incident. Fritz left the pitch for attention and received stiches in the changing rooms before quicky returning to play. This really was a moment of madness allowing Fritz to return in no state to play on.
By half time the Toulouse staff came to their senses that Fritz was not able to play on and he was subsequently substituted.
Watch the incident here:
