Montpellier's runaway victory over Racing 92 over the weekend was marred by a bizarre pre-match punch-up ... between teammates of the French Top14 leaders.
TV cameras caught Springbok hooker Bismarck du Plessis and French prop Mohamed Haouas exchanging a series of punches during the warm-up for the match against former All Blacks first-five Dan Carter's team.
With forwards coach Nathan Hines looking on, the pair had to be separated by teammates.
The reason for the bust-up is still not known.
Departing All Black Lima Sopoaga shared the incident on Twitter.
