Players from England rugby side Bath have been told it is no longer acceptable to celebrate tries before grounding the ball - after Freddie Burns cost his side the chance of victory in their opening Champions Cup match against Toulouse by having the ball knocked out of his hand.
Burns looked to have won the match in dramatic fashion after breaking through the Toulouse defence to cross the try-line in the 78th minute, just moments after he had missed a penalty to win the match from in front of the posts.
The Bath fullback, however, slowed down as he ran behind the posts, holding the ball in one hand as he blew a kiss with the other, and Maxime Medard spoiled what should have been his redemption moment.
Bath captain Rhys Priestland refused to point the finger of blame for the defeat on Burns, but admitted that he will demand an end to premature celebrations.
