Is there anyone who doesn’t like a bit of good old-fashioned, ’70s-style on-field brawling?
Hell, even the players involved seem to enjoy it. They certainly didn’t hesitate to get stuck in.
So here’s a roundup of the best on-pitch fights of the Six Nations era. Enjoy.
1. France v Italy, 2014
Referee shows two players, Italy’s Michele Rizzo & France’s Rabah Slimani, red cards for foul play as France takes on Italy in the 2nd round clash of the RBS 6 Nations Championship from the Stade de France.
2. Wales v Ireland, 2005
Paul O’Connell unleashes the beast within & unloads the ground and pound on Wales’ Robert Sidoli. The nearest thing you will see to UFC on a rugby pitch.
