    Police mistake rugby match for brawl


    12-06-2006
    From: Reuters
    RUSSIANS playing a game of amateur rugby have been arrested by police who mistook the match for a mass brawl.
    "We got a call to our control room saying there was a fight involving a lot of people on some waste ground just outside town," RIA news agency quoted a police official in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don as saying.
    The players and supporters – nearly 100 people in total – were taken to the local police station. They were released without charge when officers realised they had been playing rugby, the news agency reported.

    I read another report on that in which they cliam that the players should have notified the police before playing.....no wonder Georgia were up against it during RWC 2003!
