Pfft, the whole rugby ethos was to stand toe to toe with your fellow competitor and quite reasonably punch him in the eye and vice versa for about eighty minutes or so and afterwards go and have a pint like nothing ever happened. Without manful agression and body-on-the-line tackles rugby is just another glorified pansy sport like soccer or badminton. Tut tut Depp, tut bloody tut.

Maybe it's just me but I love the build up through a match, whether it kicks off or not is irrelevant, just the chance it could happen is almost enough for me. :pac:

True, but from the volume of clips of fights available it's easy to see it's certainly an aspect of the game!

Here's one of O'Connell and Cudmore having a go!

the best punch i saw was from Puma hooker Mendez when he floored Paul Ackford i think , while still a teen

that o'gara thing was pretty sickening , which led to plenty of rumours

Not a soccer or a badminton fan but I'd not say they were glorified pansy sports because of body on the line stuff on a rugby pitch....

Meh, when you stamp on a defensiveless player on the floor you don't exactly have the high moral ground yourself.
