Video: Cardiff didn’t witness the most bruising rugby over the weekend – Belgium did

While Cardiff and Rome saw some bruising and exciting action last weekend, it wasn’t a patch on the action witnessed in Belgium.

The King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels hosted the Rugby World Cup qualifier between Georgia and the host country – as if you didn’t know – and tensions were running high. Very high indeed.

This dust-up lasted longer than your usual fisticuffs on the rugby pitch, with Georgia and Montpellier back-row Mamuka Gorgodze (number 6) singling out the Belgian winger for special attention. We're not sure who the Belgium winger is, but the fight was the boxing equivalent of a heavyweight taking on a lightweight. Luckily for him the fight didn't go the distance.

For one of the star performers in the Heineken Cup this year, Gorgodze's passion for the international game seems to be equally as high.

In case you were wondering, Georgia ran out 17-13 in the bruising encounter.
