What? More thuggery in New Zealand rugby?

An ‘after the whistle’ all-in brawl in Auckland over the weekend simply can’t be? 

 

I could not believe my eyes when I read the article.

Help, next thing there will be a school shooting in the U.S.    

One could suggest N.Z Rugby should instigate an expensive, inevitably futile, report into Respect and Responsibility.  

Nah, just kidding.  

Violence is part of rugby’s DNA. 

Hard men are lionised.  

This site hardly touches the surface of the violence that goes on every week in N.Z Rugby.

 

Most of it unreported. 

This incident is the norm, not out of the ordinary.  

 

PS: I wonder how the playing numbers at looking in Auckland Senior Rugby? They would be turning them away at the door one thinks. Not!
