Here at Cagewriter, we're all for some ground and pound action. That type of�expert MMA display is best suited for the cage or ring, however, in actual MMA competition.
Rugby players Ben Flowers and Lance Hohaia�took things way too far on the pitch, Saturday in the Super League final, slugging it out on the feet and on the ground. In the video above, you can see Hohaia strike first with a forearm strike to Flowers.
Apparently enraged, Flowers then followed up with a right punch which knocked Hohaia out, and to the ground. From there, Flowers grabbed his opponent's lapel and punch him in the face once more, as he lay prone and unconscious on the ground.
Rugby is already a rough sport - perhaps even more dangerous than professional fighting, in many ways - but punches and forearms are clearly against the rules. Who do you fault more for the frenzied mess?
Hohaia for initiating the foul play with a forearm, or Flowers for continuing to hit back, even after Hohaia was knocked out?
