Violence hospitalises six players as gendarmes are called

Three red cards were shown during the match

An outbreak of violence at an early-season amateur club match in South East France resulted in six players from the away club Ambérieu-en-Bugey being hospitalised.

According to newspaper Le Progrès the injuries were sustained from fighting involving a combination of visiting players plus players and spectators from hosts Pusignan – a nearby town which borders the city of Lyon.

Remarkably this led to eight local police being called so the Honor Championship match – which it is understood to be equivalent to a level seven or eight league in England – could be played to a conclusion.

    Max’s book club – Joe Marler edition

    Lyon’s regional daily newspaper reports that the six Ambérieu players were admitted via accident and emergency to treat injuries sustained during their opening league game of the season.

    It goes on to confirm that three red cards were issued – two against Ambérieu and one against Pusignan.

    Ambérieu president Dominique Farlat blamed the incident on spectators rather than pointing the finger at either set of players.

    “The outbreak of violence from part of the crowd towards one of our players was incredible,” she said.

    “Spectators took one of our young players, who was playing in the first team for the first time, off the field to beat him up. They were helped by an opposition substitute, who was warming up.”

    “Things became animated when my team was leading 6-0.”

    According to Le Progrès, the away team called local gendarmes to protect those present by “ensuring safety along the touchline.”

    Ambérieu then avoided contact with the hosts, who eventually won the match 37-6, following the end of the contest.

    Farlat confirmed that she intends to lodge an official complaint.

    “We have a small squad and three players will be absent for a long spell,” she said.

    “We will also warn the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes league and the Ain committee about this violence.”

    Japan's proposed anti-diverse 'blood' eligibility law after foreign player influx

    “WR are saying you’re not Japanese until you’ve had 5 years there and JRFU are saying you can be after 30 tests”

    Yes I am aware of this. Most people will never play 30 tests, so for those that don’t the JRFU will define their nationality according to “blood”.


    “The Drua are identical to Moana.”

    And Fijian Drua are not the same as “Fiji”.


    “Of course you can. You just can’t make it represent a whole country ala South Africa. I’m sure theres hundres of Scottish or Irish rep teams all over.”

    Name literally one team that restricts selection to only white people. If any exist, I would say that that is bad, because I am not racist. But I don’t believe you’ll be able to name one.


    “At least you got one thing right, a person can call themselves white if they want, or Maori, and be involved in any such like minded group. Just don’t be like the KKK and make it a racial group 😋”

    Are you aware that ability to play for NZ Maori is determined according to racial heritage? And that the same will be true of players deemed “Japanese” under the new JRFU eligibility rules?


    “While I’m sure you realise you’re wrong about about the picture you tried to paint (and probably new before posting) in your OP”

    I’m not wrong. Racism is bad.


    “I don’t have faith that you were able to corelate the two examples”

    This doesn’t make sense. “Correlate” doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means. Its also not clear what examples you’re referring to; is it the JRFU and Moana? The JRFU and NZ Maori? The Maori and hypothetical whites only teams?


    “Happy to keep replying until you do, again”

    Again? When has this happened before?
