Probe continues into Timaru rugby mass brawlTETSURO MITOMO/FAIRFAX NZ South Canterbury Rugby Union chief executive Craig Calder is taking a teenage brawl seriously. The South Canterbury Rugby Football Union (SCRFU) is demanding to know why players left the substitutes' bench to join a mass brawl between under-18 teams. Calder said he had received a letter of complaint from Roncalli College deputy principal Andrew Jones over the incident. Calder said he would work to ensure the new team management had the appropriate protocols and governance in place. Aoraki Combined prop Geoffrey Elderton believed his side was being unfairly painted in a bad light.
