It is therefore all the more important that referees know these variations. The flare-up is back in town. After those mad days in the Seventies and Eighties, when 99 ruled, we had relative peace on the range. Now the feudin' and fightin' are back. The shoot-out at OK Corral is back.
Fighting is back on the rugby field.
It's worth talking about. Gloucester are down 27-25 with two minutes left. They drive and drive at the Llanelli posts. There is a ruckish thing with bodies lying about. It's only about 6m from the Llanelli line and slap in front of the posts.
