Rugby player received a red card for questioning the referee: what she said.

Scandal at the women's rugby league match

According to The Sun: Star of the women's rugby league Sinead Peach may lose her right to play after being sent off for an inappropriate remark towards the referee.

The player from the York Valkyrie team received a red card from referee Oliver Salmon when, according to witnesses, she asked him which opposition player he was involved with during her team's defeat to St Helens on Saturday.

After her team lost their 8-0 lead and lost 18-8, the former Woman of Steel title holder could not contain her emotions in the 79th minute of the match.

When the referee made a decision in favor of the opponents, she allegedly asked, “Which one of them are you sleeping with?”

The referee stopped the game after this remark and told Peach:

“Sinead, come here. I will not tolerate that. I cannot allow you to say: ‘Which one of them are you sleeping with?’ You’re out.”

As a result of the penalty awarded, the Saints team had the opportunity to add another two points to their score.

Currently, the rugby federation's match review panel is analyzing the incident and will decide whether disciplinary charges will be brought against Peach. If so, she faces serious punishment for her question about the referee's integrity.
