There is no such thing yet as a losing bonus point in the Six Nations.
And it is a good thing too as Morgan Parra would not be the man to trust if you were desperate for some crucial points at the deaths to get the add-on after the full-time whistle.
The Clermont Auvergne outhalf was on the field for the final moments of the Champions Cup pool clash with Bordeaux today when his side were awarded a penalty in the 80th minute, in front of the posts
The score stood at 28-37 to the visitors, and everyone watching at home understood that the Top 14 side needed just one score in the game to get a losing bonus point, and seal their place in the last 8 of the competition.
Everyone at home understood that, but the one man who had the ball in hand, Parra, decided to go for a quick tap and go to drive for the corner and try and force a try.
It did not go well.

Considering Owen Farrel's f**k up on Saturday, Parra really takes the award for the worst rugby fail of this millennium.

His mistake meant instead of booking their place in the latter stages of the Champions Cup, Clermont missed out, and Exeter instead got through.

And at least one current player is not very happy
