Video: No Sport Does Fighting Quite Like Lower Division French Rugby

Nevers and Lombez-Samatan battled it out in France's Federale 1 division on Saturday night. And when we say "battled", we mean a full on proper brawl. The division is the one directly under the Pro D2, and two under the Top 14, and has a reputation for being extremely physical.

A fight breaks out between the sides after a nasty spear tackle, and it takes at least 90 seconds for tensions to ease.

What's amazing to us, is while there was a good minute and change of fighting - most of it was handbags or swotting away - but surely more than two people should have been sent off. We don't envy the job ahead of the citing commissioner.
