Nasty Scenes As WP – EP U19 Rugby Match Descends Into Punches And Headbutts [Video]

This weekend's showdown between the u19 teams from Western Province and Eastern Province saw two players red-carded for fighting.

The u19 provincial rugby match between Western Province and Eastern Province, which took place this past weekend, saw two players red-carded amidst a nasty brawl.

The players involved, EP fullback Dylan le Roux and WP wing Christian Ambadiang, were clearly never going to share a beer after the full-time whistle.

Having been sent off for an initial fight, the pair engaged in round two whilst walking off the field, with a headbutt thrown in for good measure.

In both incidents, it looks like the Western Province player is the instigator, responding with a swinging arm after being tackled into touch towards the start of the video below.

That being said, the EP player shouldn’t have swung at Ambadiang, and the whole thing is not a good look.

This video was shared on the Citizen:

Not that anybody cares, but WP ended up winning 47-18. That’s actually an improvement from the u21 result between the same two teams last Friday, where Province ran in 27 tries en route to a 173-0 win.

In their five matches this season, the EP outfit has conceded 610 points, scoring just 27 themselves.
