JOHN LOMU, the younger brother of All Black sensation Jonah, was sent off without even playing after getting involved in a brawl on the pitch. Lomu was on the bench for Cardiff club Old Illtydians in a SWALEC Cup second-round tie against Cwmllynfell when players started exchanging blows.

"There was a bit of a fracas going on between the forwards and John ran into the middle of it," said Cwmllynfell fixture secretary Wyn Griffiths.
