[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 760411, member: 58362"] Sorry v c, I missed that post. As a result of this question (and being a massive nerd) I have done a bit of reading about the history of cards in rugby. It appears that the first physical yellow card to be waved at a World Cup was in 1999 (shown to Roberto Grau). Presumably physical red cards were brought in at the same time, meaning that the first player to be red carded would have been the first player to be sent off in the 1999 tournament - Marika Vunibaka. Bet you had a great time in Gloucester, particularly as it had a meaning outside of rugby for you. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] In a thread full of questions as obscure as this, I'd say that pedantry is well at home. Although I couldn't remember Richards' name, it's such a well known story that I assumed there had to be more to the question than that. [/QUOTE]
