Law-less rugby is not for the faint-hearted

There is a version of rugby played in Italy where brawls and off-the-ball scuffles are part and parcel of the game.

Calcio Storico is an early form of football or rugby that originated in 16th-century Italy and is known to be an extremely traditional sport played with great pride by its players.

This is possibly the most violent sport played today.

Viewer discretion is advised.
