The most brutal match in professional rugby history

This video shows one of the most brutal and violent matches that professional rugby has ever seen: the second test between the Springboks and Lions in 2009. It might not compare to the violent nature of the old amateur internationals but this has to be one of the most brutal games in rugby history. The collisions were immense and both teams desperately wanted to win.

Eye gouging is a clear red card offense and Schalk Burger should have been sent off. The only reason he wasn't is that it was only 30 secs into the game and the ref didn't want to ruin the contest. Like most fans I want to see a competitive match between two sides with 15 men on the pitch, but he really should have gone there's no question of that. However would we have had such an epic contest if he had?

One of the most exhilarating and brutal rugby matches of all time 0:30 20 seconds into the game Schalk Burger gouged Luke Fitzgerald's eye This was spotted by the linesman and Burger was given just a yellow card for the offence 1:17 Brian O'Driscoll exchanged shoves with Victor Matfield which provoked both sides 3:19 Rob Kearney was taken out late Bakkies Botha told Mike Phillips he had "sexy blue eyes" The second half was even more brutal Mike Phillips questioned the South African forwards as to if they were on steroids 3:48 Botha cleaned out Adam Jones from a ruck dislocating his shoulder 4:14 He then tried to wind up his replacement Andrew Sheridan 4:55 Sheridan caught Andries Bekker with a low blow in a maul (missed by the officials) 5:12 Pierre Spies charged at the Lions' defence sending Jamie Roberts flying 5:18 Brian O'Driscoll blindsided Danie Roussow knocking him out and concussing himself in the process O'Driscoll played a few more minutes and was replaced by Ronan O'Gara 6:22 On another charge from Pierre Spies, he knocked out O'Gara who then missed a crucial tackle on Jaque Fourie 7:14 Shane Williams on the counter-attack was smashed by Heinrich Brussow Hope you enjoyed the video!

See the standard of officiating hasn’t improved

If the same game was played today, each team would probably finish with ~12 players with 4 or 5 red cards and someone always in the sin bin

O’Gara ? did he have his hands in his pockets ?

O'Gara. A very ordinary player.... Literally lost the match single handedly

For all the plaudits he gets Ronan O’Gara really fooked that series for us, never forget that.

He was concussed and shouldn't have been on the pitch

He had just got absolutely obliterated by one of the most powerful and fast forwards SA have ever produced and then by Jaque Fourie again. You start playing dumb after that.

I know it's been said here but ffs he had a fucking concussion the fact he could even stand at that point was nothing short of a miracle

If this were played today there would be 5 or 6 red cards at least. Different era. Different level. When stepping onto the pitch was when you as player went to war.
