"Huge uppercuts" - Marland Yarde got into huge scrap with Harlequins teammate

Brown revealed: “That’s probably the best fight I’ve seen. Bloody hell. So Marland Yarde and Paul Doran Jones are in the physio room, both on physio beds.

“They kind of going at each other about some stuff. Doran Jones then says something about Marland Yarde’s girlfriend.

"Then Marland Yarde jumped off and Dozer’s [Doran Jones] got his head in the physio bed, the hole in the bed, and he just comes up and just uppercuts him through the hole in the thing and they just start going off.

“There’s medical equipment flying everywhere. There’s a poor masseuse lady stuck in the middle of it as well,

"Doran Jones tore his calf. He’d just come back from a calf injury. Tore his calf and that was the end of him. I think that was him done at Quins."

An image of Lopeti Timani with two swollen eyes has revealed the extent of his fight with Rebels teammate Amanaki Mafi in Dunedin. Mafi and Timani fought after the side's season-ending loss against the Highlanders.

Cipriani was baited by Lewsey for not putting enough effort in. Reports claim Cipriani then retaliated by telling Lewsey to "shut up or be shut up". Next thing the 20-year-old knew he was lying on his back staring up at the sky with a fat lip.

O'Connell lost his nerve with the Ulster second-row in the build-up to the Rugby World Cup. The Munster legend threw a punch and he went down, unconscious with a tooth bursting his cheek. Caldwell swallowed a lot of blood and an ambulance had to rush him to the hospital. The team doctor later told O'Connell: "The story is, you nearly killed him.”

The Ireland legend, who would often involved in training ground scraps, would never be involved in another after he learned from this incident that a single punch could hurt someone badly.

When England's Austin Healy began poking fun at a swollen and bruised Ronan O'Gara during the Lions tour, a young Brian O'Driscoll snapped and beat the lard out of him.

Here is Legend Keith Wood's version of events.

"Austin came in and he was being an unbelievable pain in the a**e. I mean beyond all belief. He was touching ROG's face and saying 'c'mom Rog, let's have a little boxing match.,, c'mon c'mon'.

"ROG just said 'p**s off, just leave me alone, get away from me' and then suddenly this little voice peeps in... 'I'll have a bit of that,' says Drico and they put on a pair of boxing gloves and Drico beat the living crap out of him.
