Fortitude Valley 17 (P. Shields, M. Fiechtner, P. Coyne tries; P. Coyne 2 goals; P. Coyne field goal) defeated Northern Suburbs 16 (I. McKenzie, T. Evans tries; G Harvey 4 goals) at Lang Park. [2] [3]
Early in the first half, a major brawl broke out between the two sides after a couple of heavy tackles. The fight initially seemed to calm before rapidly escalating and splintering into smaller fights. One of particular note was between Valleys winger Peter Shields and Norths threequarter Brad Foster, which saw the two trade blows toe to toe, and both lose their jerseys as a result.
The fight was so ferocious that the scoreboard attendant displayed 'break it up lads' on the scoreboard, whilst there were two fight calls reputed as being triggered most likely by renowned Norths coach Tommy Raudonikis, with these being "99" and "ANZAC" respectively. [4]
Queensland Premier Rugby is a semi professional club rugby union competition in Queensland, Australia. Nine clubs play in the competition, eight clubs are from Brisbane, and one club is from Gold Coast.

It would run under the BRL until 1998 when it would become the highest rugby league competition in the state.
