The drama occurred late Saturday afternoon, on the lawn of the Jules-Ribert stadium in Saint-Gaudens, in Haute-Garonne, where the reserve rugby team was playing a preparation match against its counterpart Miélan (Gers). A 30-year-old Stade Saint-Gaudinois Luchonnais XV player has died of heart failure.
According to a witness cited by La Dépêche du Midi , Peter Janicot received the ball after a touch, before being tackled. “An a priori normal tackle. He got up, moaning before collapsing. "
The emergency services intervened to help the trainers of the two teams were unable to revive the second line, whose pregnant partner was among the spectators of the match. An investigation has been opened to try to determine the causes of death.
