Rugby player KOs linesman in shocking video

Rugby player KOs linesman in shocking video

A local league rugby player has knocked out a linesman in a match between Chicester and Dorking in London.

The openside flanker (number seven) was seething after a try was allowed against his side off a potential forward pass.

He can be seen approaching the linesman and placing a hand behind his back, while clearly arguing with him.

He then walks with the linesman back behind the post before eventually sucker punching the unsuspecting victim.

Players from the opposing side rush in to push the player around and help out the official who is lying concussed on the ground.

Check out the shocking video in the player above.

Unfortunately, it's only one of a number of recent examples of players and officials coming to blows.
