Weather and Field Conditions
Sunny, 50's, little wind Field had proper lines, flags, and posts; dry running surface with patches of sand and dirt

General Pattern of Play
Fiercely contested breakdowns; BIW had better ball control and was able to move it within their backs and forwards; Quins had some good strike runners but insufficient support

Detailed Report of Incident
After the ball had moved away from a ruck near BIW's 22, several players in the ruck continued their contest. This turned into some shoving and two of the players in the ruckus were observed throwing punches. I observed Mr. Topu's punch and received an AR report regarding Mr. Morin's punch. Both of the punches warranted YCs. Mr. Topu left under protest and was subbed not long after his return.
