This is a quick look at a crazy fight involving just about all of the players in the semifinals of the Polish League, which took place at the National Rugby Stadium in Gdynia.
The match was between Arka Gdynia (yellow), and one of the best Polish teams, Budowlani Lodz.
Some kind of altercation between the Budowni Lodz scrumhalf and the Arka Gdynia lock sparked the unsavoury scenes, but after the game they apparently all got together for a beer.
Poland [home] v Germany [away] , might be worth watching !
No kicking definitely, but I'm not going to stand there tugging the shirt of a bloke who's trying to batter the daylights out of one of my team mates...
I don't like it, lots of 2v1, 3v1 there. Wild punches, kicks, lucky no one hurt. Grab a jersey, wrestle a guy, no need to punch, serious injuries can occur

1958 if you must know, and they're ranked 28th in the world
So you're saying its an integral part of the game?
Bad days when a prop gets taken down by a 13..
This has about as much of a place in rugby union as does binge drinking or public nudity..
If this is unacceptable so is the brawl after the Springboks v All Blacks game, but no one said anything about that. Sure, there are punches thrown here but no one appears to get injured and they all seemed to sort themselves out.
either a kick or an Ong Bak style knee to the chest
It's ok
I played with a guy that was in the Polish national team. He was a badass athlete.
Ugly situation for sure, but oh well! It's not the end of the world.
I'm sure someone go flying in with a kick there. No kicking please
just like the good ol' days!
