Over the weekend, two New Zealand high schools added themselves to the growing list of violent rugby incidents. With South African rugby club, Heidelberg receiving a 15 year ban after a mass brawl during their fixture against Mossel Bay Rugby Club, and a punch up in the Wallaby camp (not the first) between youngster, James O’Connor and veteran, Phil Waugh, questions have to start being asked about what is happening within the sport?

The semi-final between Auckland Grammer School and Kelston Boys High erupted into a mass fight over the weekend. It isn’t yet clear what started the fight, but a disciplinary hearing has been held today, the result of which is not yet known.

What can be done to stop this growing trend from ruining the sport we all love?
