The RFU should consider playing matches at neutral venues when the armed services clubs are involved...

Sport is there to make peace between the contesting teams. These goon turned it other way round.

Looks like we've got an LTTE sympathizer here, under a false name!

Needless to say, fight amongst servicemen is very
unhealthy situation. They must set high standards.Azeem Saturday, 04 August 2012 01:47 PM
Very sad. Should never happen again. Both are considered protectors of the people and should strive to maintain that image.Hope things are resolved soon.

Well declined ruling party vs opposition cricket match is a inspiring. Why not play that game at least once a week for general public.to change attitude and to keep MP's occupied..

This how the forces are managed. It is disgraceful People in charge have no discipline and it cascades down to others

Everything in this country is politicized. Today Kandy is playing Navy. Even the referee appointment has been politisized.
All brawls start for a reason. All institutions in this country is politicised unfortunately and frustrations of people comes out in way of brawls at different stages.
I wont condone the fighting. But we need to look beyond the fight to see the reason.Lanka Shantha Saturday, 04 August 2012 07:09 AM
Sports and spirit mixes to unruly out come.
Recently one mobile phone company cricket match went off due to drunk people. Spirit and sports blend in Sri Lanka and it is allowed officially.Sammy Saturday, 04 August 2012 03:53 AM
The forces, who are the maintainers of the law, set a bad example on the rugby field & this is not the first time.

Indiscipline at its height!! What a good example to the private clubs and schools.

Rugby is a game that incite violence at the slightest provocation because it is very physical. Tolerance and patients should be part of training in this game.
john Friday, 03 August 2012 08:33 PM

Manoja Friday, 03 August 2012 07:13 PM

TR Friday, 03 August 2012 06:54 PM
This recalls the memory in to last years match at Nittawela, where an Air force player, was on the field, fired to air using T56.But no disciplinary action was taken.

Disgraceful... even being a Rugger match!
Mr. Permanent Secretary of Defence, its over to you!kumaraya Friday, 03 August 2012 04:16 PM
How disgraceful. This is typical of a military state. They cannot even play a game without violence!

This clearly shows the extent of the moral decay in our society. The so called guardians of the people and the guardians of the country can not even engage in sport peacefully. Some miracle
dev Friday, 03 August 2012 03:05 PM
UGLY!
Shiran Friday, 03 August 2012 03:02 PM
Why we sri lankans are always like this...couple of weeks back we had the rugby 7's in london...major brawl started with pathana & rajans match...and this is in london where we try to showcase the sri lankan rugby talent...which ended up in calling the police & ambulance.
