Evidence that rugby brawls are more like childish slap fights

2/7/2013

That's it? New video evidence suggests that rugby — said to be one of the most dangerous sports in the world and played by men who could probably run through a garage door if they felt like it — has some awfully disappointing "brawls." We're talking about this slap fight that happened recently in Brussels between Belgium and Georgia. Because really, haven't we all seen 11-year-old kids playing field hockey go at it harder and longer than this? The idea that 20 seconds of half-hearted shoving and lazy punching is even called a brawl only proves one thing: Rugby wouldn't stand a chance if had to fistfight with hockey.
