Rugby fight breaks out between ACS (I) and St Andrew's School

There is a recent news, well i would say shocking news, happened in Singapore. This is non other then the Rugby fight that breaks out between ACS (I) and St Andrew's School.

A fight between opposing players and a pitch invasion that ensued, marred a keenly-contested Schools National B Division Under-17 rugby final between Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and St Andrew's School (SAS) yesterday.

The post-match clash, which erupted immediately after the final whistle at the Old Police Academy at Thomson Road, left ACS(I) flanker Leonard David Wee with a bloodied nose and mouth.

The supporters had just started applauding the splendid display when the fracas erupted. According to ACS(I) sports secretary Chan Chee Wei, Leonard was punched in the face by an opposing player.

You may pity the player, Leonard, who was injured. But if you looked at the full picture, it was Leonard Wee who started the fight, insulting one of the SAS players. He insulted one of the SAS player , a loser.

Well, we can understand why a fight broke out. Even though SAS started to use violence, but i feel that it is understandable. If someone were to call you, or even your team loser, after losing just by one point, i feel that, i mean i really feel that only people with really high self control will then be able to cope with the anger that is building up.

But well, i wouldn't say that SAS wasn't at fault at all. They were wrong to resort to violence to appease their anger. They could have walked away, even though its difficult for them to do so.

As for ACS(I), i personally feel that they display no sportsmanship at all. Despite the fact that they wasn't the first to start to fight, they called the losing team, SAS a looser. This shows that they did not win graciously. Instead of going up, shaking their hand, or even saying 'good game', they called SAS a looser. This is the straw that broke the camel back. It spark off the fight.

Thus I feel that it is understandable for SAS to resort to violence and i feel that ACS(I) is at fault in the first place. Well, you may have different views, but do share with my by simply commenting :D
