Rugby Coaches Fight On Pitch

A rugby game in America descended into ugly scenes as two opposing coaches got into an on-field scrap. Houston SaberCats head coach Pote Human and Rugby New York Ironworkers high performance coach Ollie Richardson came to blows during a Major League Rugby match in the Mount Vernon, New York on Monday. During a water break in the match, a furious Human stormed onto the pitch to confront Richardson. Footage from the broadcast shows Human slapping Richardson, who then fired back with a punch of his own as players and officials stepped in to separate the two. Human, who coached the Bulls in Super Rugby from 2019-2020, was reportedly incensed by Richardson berating his players during the stoppage of play. Both coaches were ejected from the field. Human’s Houston SaberCats took out the victory 34-27
