In keeping with tradition, fierce Super Rugby<\/a> rivals the NSW Waratahs<\/a> and Queensland Reds<\/a> on Friday played out another clash packed with high-running emotion \u2013 and it spilled over during an all-in scuffle during the second half.<\/p>\n

Tension in the Leichardt Oval grudge match, won by the Reds 20-16 in wild weather, boiled over when a Waratahs try was shut down in the 49th minute.<\/p>\n

NSW fly-half Ben Donaldson threw a soaring ball to James Turner and the left winger rocketed down the touchline in pursuit of a five-pointer, but he was stopped by desperate cover defence from Queensland's Josh Flook and Spencer Jeans.<\/p>\n

The Reds duo tackled Turner into touch, and pushing and shoving quickly erupted, prompting a host of players from both sides to rush in.<\/p>\n

Referee Damon Murphy looked unfavourably upon Jed Holloway, awarding a penalty to the Reds because the Waratahs lock had charged in from afar and intensified the scuffle.<\/p>\n

"Clearly the player's been tackled out," Stan's coverage captured Murphy saying to the NSW and Queensland captains.<\/p>\n

"There's push and shove.<\/p>\n

"Blue four (Holloway) has come flying in and escalated the situation, so I'm going to penalise blue four.<\/p>\n

"If there's any more of that someone goes to the bin."<\/p>\n
