Violence at a Wellington club rugby match during the weekend, which may have been sparked by a racial slur yelled from the sidelines, was among the worst a witness, who is a veteran journalist, has seen in 10 years of reporting on the sport. A fight, involving players and spectators, broke out in the last minutes of the Jack Lamason Memorial Cup match between Marist St Pats and Old Boys’ University at Wellington College on Saturday afternoon.
