Brive lock goes full on savage in sickening head-butting spree

In this day and age, any head-butt, or even anything that looks like a head-butt is an instant red card. So this begs the question, 'what was Brive lock Lucas Paulos thinking against Biarritz today?'

The Argentine was dismissed on 43 minutes for launching his head into the head of opposite man Josh Tyrell. It may not have been with a huge amount of force, but it is simply unacceptable in the modern game. Take a look:
