Rugby: spitting, jaw fracture… an impressive fight breaks out in the stands during a Fédérale 2 match

If the Stade Belvèsois players shone on their pitch on Sunday afternoon, the same cannot be said of their attitude in the stands. Particularly from young people. The meeting is about to end between the two first teams of Belvès and RC Villeneuve XV, on the Perigordian meadow. In the public, the Villeneuvois supporters who made the trip can only see, as the clock ticks down, a defeat looms. Enough to give free rein to the excitement from the Juniors of Stade Belvèsois in the stand. “They went up in the middle of our audience” remembers the president of RCV XV, Jérôme Colombini.

It was as the final whistle approached that things got worse. Remarks pour out from the Périgourdins, the Villeneuvois try to remain impassive. “They stayed at the end, and they were looking,” whispers the Villeneuvois president. Insults and spitting from the young people of Belvès finally implode the pressure cooker.

Commission de discipline

A violent fight then broke out between the Juniors of the two teams. “Everyone is up,” says Jérôme Colombini, who was already positioned at the top of the stand before the outbreak of hostilities. It's chaos, the Périgourdins attack the entire public, including the players' friends and even their own teammates. Videos are circulating on social networks, where we notably see a Villeneuvois being “marouflaged” by two young people from Belvès. “I noticed a young person from Belvès who had taken a pancake (sic) from a colleague, he has a triple fracture of the jaw” certifies President Colombini.

A Villeneuvois escapes with a broken tooth. A disciplinary committee and a report from the delegate must shed light on this impressive fight. For the moment, the president of RC Villeneuve dismisses any complaints. “I'm waiting to see the ITT, we remain attentive to the young people from our area” specifies the boss of the Villeneuvois quinzistes. A fight which spoiled, even more, the RCV's trip to Dorgogne.
