It’s fair to say that tensions boiled over in the Fédérale 1 local derby clash between Hyères-Carqueiranne and La Seyne sur Mer in France’s Var region.
Tempers had been fraying throughout the match but in the 55th minute the first big fight broke out, with a red card for one player from each side.
Just a few minutes later, a mass brawl erupted and a further two players were sent off, reports Wales Online.
Unfortunately, the person filming flipped their camera so you need to watch a few times to take in all of the mayhem.
The footage was shared by Samoan winger David Smith, who once turned out for the likes of the Hurricanes and Toulon, and now plays for Hyères-Carqueiranne.

Watch it one more time, and keep a lookout for the player in the opening seconds who is tripped by his own teammate mid-jump, leading to a Superman-like entrance to the brawl.
A fifth player was sent off before the ref eventually blew time. Hyères-Carqueiranne won 22-6.
