France lock Sebastien Chabal and Italy prop Martin Castrogiovanni were involved in a nightclub brawl following their teams' Six Nations clash, Italian news agency Ansa claimed on Sunday.

Chabal, who scored a try during the 50-8 romp, reportedly left Castro with a bloodied nose after the Leicester Tigers prop believed the French player, known as 'Caveman', was eyeing his girlfriend at the Art Cafe nightspot on Saturday night.

The bearded Frenchman, dressed in a dinner jacket, and Castrogiovanni were separated by teammates. French players apologised for the incident.
