Irish lock Bob Casey played his last ever game of rugby yesterday but the game will probably be remembered for this mass brawl instead.
During the week Irish lock Bob Casey spoke about how his final game for London Irish against Gloucester was going to be emotional and so it proved, but not in the way we or Casey imagined.
The good news for Casey was that the game ended in a rousing win for his team, 52-18 in fact, but both sides finished with 14 men after this massive brawl erupted.
Casey was heavily involved at the start, and it looked like he might end his career a few minutes early but the Exiles captain resisted to urge to throw any punches. Gloucester’s Jim Hamilton and Irish’s David Paice were not so restrained.
Both players were given yellow cards for their involvement in the dust up but they weren’t finished fighting so had another go at it as they walked off. The end result was a pair of red cards from referee Dave Pearson and a very bloody wound for Paice.
As rugby brawls go, it is one of the best we have seen in a while, featuring all the players and some of the benches but and if you want to cut straight to the one-on-one fight between Hamilton and Paice, skip to around 2.50 in the video.
