Sorry, Ted, I was looking at it upside-down.
Toulon clinched a historic third European Champions Cup in succession this evening at Twickenham but the celebrations weren’t bathed in red as you’d expect.
The French club beat fellow French club, Clermont, 24-18 in the showpiece in London and, even though it wouldn’t have detracted one bit from their celebrations, there was a bit of a gaffe in the organising it seems as blue and yellow ribbons shot from the cannons to drench the victorious Toulon team.
They would’ve looked alright descending on the Clermont side – seeing as it’s their colours and all that – but it just didn’t look right coming down on the Toulon players.
Always stick with gold. You know where you stand with gold.
Clermont ribbons fired out of the cannons by mistake? Ah lads… pic.twitter.com/KP8LiCmrEk
