To be honest this doesn't surprise me. Rugby players, like it or not, have a reputation for being idiots when on a night out!! They just messed with the wrong people this time!!!
Many of the posts so far revel in the violence dished out initially by the rugby players but then change their tune when it gets too much for them!! Wake up and tune in FFS....if you get involved in a street fight don't expect Queensbury rules....
What i don't get is how so many on here think it's perfectly acceptable for a 15 stone rugby player to knock **** out of a far smaller guy yet it's not acceptable for said guy to lift a bottle to even the playing field!! ??
Having seen the lack of respect Rugby players out on the lash give other punters i cannot say i have any sympathy for the guys injured....
ps. The Sun story seems to be factually wide off the mark re. knives, what started it etc.......no surprise there then!!! lol.
