Richard Loe, that mother fucker knew how to get into some scraps ha.

NHL has it right, 1 on 1 fights allowed, no sticks or gloves or helmets, go until they hit the ground, that badass.

PC brigade going overboard

The footage of the incident was bloody tame compared to brawls that have transpired between Christchurch Boy's High & Christ's College during their annual rugby matches, mostly instigated by spectators/ex pupils..... shit there wasn't even as much publicity when there were over 20 arrests made at one school/college match

It's just a bunch of rugby boofheads doing what rugby boofheads do be it at a match, at a party, walking down the main street. Shouldn't be tolerated.

Yes, with leadership like that, why would one expect better from the schoolboys?

Maybe, maybe not. But the people who say the “old boys network” isn’t a factor anymore need to turn over a few rocks……

Eggs-fuckin-zactly.
I think it was a great opportunity to make an example of these neanderthols and their piss-poor behaviour thats typical of the (younger - in particular) rugby crowd.

I'm not against a scrap, it happens, but dragging someone off the ground to smack their head in is just plain stupid.

Agree with this point,since lowering the age of drinking,I noticed quite a few guys pissed and causing trouble after games,this at midnight and later,and not only rugby,but all sports.The difference scrapping at that time can lead to police charges,on the field this rarely happens.

Coaches need to be aware when any team drinks in public they have club colours showing,I personally know in Taranaki a few older guys stay and try to keep a lid on their younger guys,steering them away from brawls while in bars.Funnily these young guys look up at the older guys with respect,something this club is heavily into.Is bloody hard to get sponsors if guys you are thinking of sponsoring come along at midnight and smash a window or two of your business.

One of the men on the committee that decided on the penalties has a kid at auckland grammar.

There's a surprise..... I wonder how many of them were also "old boys".....

Speaking from experience, playing against Grammer back in the day was about hard-ass rugby. You knew you were playing for respect. Kelston...they just wanted to fight and didn't give a shit about the rugby.

I'm with you with a little scrap on the field to sort issues out. What I don't go for is pricks off the field starting the bullshit just so their side can win

1 on 1 on field is fine and most of the time justified. It's not just to start a fight. These pricks on the side line ran onto the field and started taking out players. Fuck that! That's got coward written all over it.

Why the fuck should honest players have to worry about supporters running onto the field and bashing the shit out of them?

That ain't biffo. That's an attack.

What's all the bullshit about fairness? They were in the fight and they got dealt too off-field. Stop the poofter crying and HTFU!

I guarantee if it was only 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 no off-field punishment would have come from it. But a full-on brawl, in my opinion, should be dealt with hard.
