Scott Quinnell has revealed how Lawrence Dallaglio winked at him after he was once sent off for a late tackle on the former England captain. Quinnell was dismissed while playing for Richmond against Wasps at Loftus Road in October 1998, after catching Dallaglio with a "late and dangerous tackle". The Wales No. 8 ended up with a 14-day ban - although he was later cleared to play after the ban was overturned, meaning he could feature in the 28-20 defeat to South Africa at Wembley. Quinnell has previously joked about the red card, making light of the fact that, when it came to the late tackle, he told the referee he got there as soon as he could. And now, while appearing on Dallaglio's Stick to Rugby podcast, Quinnell once again regaled tales of that red card - including Dallagio's part in his dismissal. "Lol was passed the ball back to him right and I was running as fast as I could right," said Quinnell on the podcast. "And he kicked it. "When does he kick the ball? He never kicks the ball. So he kicked it and I went to charge it down. And as I went to charge it down I had cramp in my shoulder and elbow." As Quinnell jokingly claimed he had cramp, Dallaglio mimicked his nose getting longer, before the No. 8 continued: "I had cramp and it went... it just managed to take him. Bang, shoulder, little bit of jaw to be honest with you, my elbow isn't big enough for that jaw. "He goes down and I think 'Oh s**t. The referee calls me over and he goes 'red card'. I actually walked over Lol, I didn't walk around him. "As I was right over the top, I looked at him and he winked at me and smiled." While former Wales international Tom Shanklin jokingly compared Dallaglio's actions to Tom Williams, the former Harlequins winger who winked to the sidelines after being involved in the infamous Bloodgate scandal, the man himself joked about his involvement. "I was doing the full Paolo Di Canio, mate," said Dallagio. "It was amazing. I got a Bafta for that!" Quinnell, having the final word, added: "Ricky Gervais would have roasted him."
