This is far from handbags.
Sometimes in a match, a bit of needle is required to lift the intensity, but this goes way too far.
The teams involved are Pays d’Aix and Berre Rugby, and while it’s not quite a 30 man schemozzle, those involved certainly don’t hold back.
It all starts after a Pays d’Aix player retaliates after a shove, and it’s not long before several players from both sides decide to jump in.
The two biggest culprits seem to be a Pays second row and prop, who each throw and connect with several haymakers, with the prop in particular swinging wildly at whatever is in front of him.
What is surprising is how quickly the whole thing breaks up after such a flurry of punches, and while we don’t get to see what punishment the referee dishes out, we imagine (and hope) he used his cards.
