Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas — Houston hosted the international rugby match in which USA played against Italy on June 23. Before the game, a pre-game party was held at Lucky's where thousands of fans gathered in support of Team USA.
Italy's Carlo Festuccia scored the first seven (7) points, followed by a penalty awarded to Team USA giving it three (3) points. Italy also got a penalty awarded to it for three (3) additional points making the score 10-3 against the US. Team USA then plowed through the Italian team scoring an additional seven (7) points that tied the game. Italy won the game after all by a 30-10 win against Team USA.
However, a sporting event isn't a sporting event in Houston without a brawl. Both teams started hurling insults at each other in the second half, as players shoved one another. Team USA then all of a sudden started spraying the Italian players with fists—the referee ended the fist fight by issuing a couple of red cards to the US team.
