Catalans Dragons players were forced to run for cover after a bull broke loose during a parade before their much-anticipated Super League clash with St Helens.
The parade was contrived by Catalans owner Bernard Guasch, head of a local meat processing company, to celebrate the quality of beef in the region.
The bull, one of three in the parade, was swiftly recovered with no damage done bar a few rising heart-rates, and the match started as scheduled at the Stade Gilbert Brutus in Perpignan.
