Down with this sort of thing.
Rugby players are tough. They take huge collisions, they dish out serious punishment, they turn around and do it again six or seven days later. They get their hands - and faces - dirty.
They spill blood.
They lift all of the weights.
And they... you know...
Every once in a while, their tempers flare and, when you combine anger with all those pounds of muscle and aggression, you get brawls that would banish the term handbags forever.
We thought the drama in the camogie final on Sunday was the roughest bit of sport we were going to see all weekend.

Then, Top 14 rugby happened.
Then, Grenoble and Brive happened.
FCG came out on top 36-23 but it was the brawl to end all brawls at the end of the first half that set this game apart.
