[QUOTE="lucky number 7, post: 699343, member: 39747"] I used to get gouged quite a lot in underage rugby as chaps knew I'd flip my **** and pick up cards or give away penalties attempting to exact retribution. Fighting and acting the **** is a part of the game , but cowardly stuff like stamping on faces and gouging has no place IMO. Then again it's come a long way from the dogfights of old , the stories I hear off my old man and the level of violence they engaged in is simply crazy and I'm glad that now if a team doesn't want to act the pup they can play nice rugby without getting dragged into a ****figh but at least we still have the option.
