The sin-binning of both of them was the correct and suitable decision, and should be left at that.

Bit of biff is good for the game, its shows a bit of passion. Too many fannies in charge these days.

There are much better ways for players to show their 'passion', but thuggery has no place on the rugby field.
Bollox, a punch up isn't 'thuggery' as you call it and has been in RL since day one, as it has in most other contact sports. The day we see an end to it will be a sad day for sport. I can remember getting into a few 'scrap' on the field and usually ended up stood at the bar with the same guy having a pint.
As i said, not only too many fannies running the sport, it seems we have aquite a few watching it as well.

I'm all for abit of boiling over tension, sometimes its just what a game needs. It certainly was the turning point on thursday night as we were by far the better team after it

Correct...as was witnessed on Thursday with pats on the backs from both teams....it is actually not so much a contact sport but a collision sport...handbags are part and parcel, and they stick together hence the brawls which are often seen even at International level.
Never coach aggression out of a kid, biggest asset we can coach skills but not aggression ....On occasions may have to shout " Now, now ", but they can never hear it
