WATCH | Massive brawl breaks out in French club rugby

A massive brawl erupted in a French club rugby clash over the weekend in a match that ended with four red cards shown by the referee during the course of the encounter.

The game saw  Hyères-Carqueiranne and La Seyne sur Mer play in a Fédérale 1 local derby in the south east region of the country. 

In the first brawl, which occurred in the 55th minute, one player from each team received their marching orders.

A few minutes later, tempers flared again and this time, all the players on the pitch were involved, with two more players sent off in the aftermath once things calmed down.

The match was eventually won  22-6 by Hyères-Carqueiranne.
