Naas wants harsh sentences
Players from John Vorster Technical High School and Waterkloof High School, both in Pretoria, got involved in a fist fight after a match at the weekend. Naas Botha, one of South Africa's most famous players and at present a coach at Waterkloof, had his say on the matter.
Botha said to the Beeld newspaper: "A one to three-week ban won't teach these guys a lesson.
"Remove them from the game, because we (the rugby community) don't need this kind of thing. At some stage SARU (SA Rugby Union) should step in and take serious measures against players who behave like this."
The two teams had just completed their league match, and had shaken hands on the field when the fight broke out.
A John Vorster player allegedly punched Waterkloof's fullback in the face, and other John Vorster boys then kicked him when he fell.
A Waterkloof team-mate rushed to help the boy, but was also punched and kicked, to the point where he lost consciousness for a while.
Deon Fichet, John Vorster's sports manager, said the incident would be investigated at the school on Monday.
Waterkloof won the second-team match 54-10.
