1. Wales v Ireland, 2005
Paul O’Connell unleashes the beast within & unloads the ground and pound on Wales’ Robert Sidoli. The nearest thing you will see to UFC on a rugby pitch.
Reacting to the incident, O’Connell wrote: “They shook hands. That’s enough. Respect to Paul O’Connell to instigate the handshake, also respect to Sidoli for accepting it.”
A second commented: “Good refereeing and good bit of sportsmanship from Sidoli “it’s ok, we’ve sorted it”.”
Another wrote: ““Nothing was seeing then by us…” Brilliant officiating and putting the fans first. Bravo”
