Farrell let his emotions boil over when he clashed with Faf de Klerk in the first half.  The game threatened to break out into a brawl when Farrell and De Klerk ended up at arm’s length just before the 20-minute mark and the rest of the two sides quickly joined in.

#6. Farrell vs. Teimana Harrison, 2017
