A TOP women’s rugby league player faces a ban after being sent off for apparently asking a referee which opponent he is having sex with.

Sinead Peach, of champions York Valkyrie, was given an instant red card by Oliver Salmon after supposedly posing the x-rated question during their side’s loss at St Helens on Saturday.

After seeing an 8-0 lead slip in the 18-8 loss, Peach – a former Woman of Steel – allowed her frustrations to boil over in the 79th minute.

When a decision went against her side, she allegedly asked the referee: “Which one are you shagging?”

Mr Salmon halted the match after the outburst and immediately told the 27-year-old what he thought.

“Sinead, come here,” he ordered to the York captain. “I’m not having any of that.

“I’m not having you saying, ‘Which one are you shagging?’ You’re off.”

The resulting penalty allowed Saints to add the final two points of their win.

Now the Rugby Football League’s match review panel will look into the incident and decide whether Peach will face any disciplinary charges.

If, as expected, she does, she will face a hefty ban if found guilty of questioning the integrity of a match official.
