A rugby game between the British Royal Navy and its French equivalent, the Marine Nationale, descended into chaos when opposing players became involved in a brawl with each other on Wednesday. Video from the game, nicknamed “le Crunch,” shows Royal Navy players in grey, and Marine Nationale in blue, swapping punches and blows in a fight that involved players on the field, and substitutes too. After the melee settled down, the French went on to win, 28-6. [Additional reporting by Storyful]
