MONEY raised from the event went to Royal Marines charity Go Commando, who support members of Taunton’s 40 Commando.
Go Commando chief executive Debbie Tyler-Davis played down the brawl, describing it as high spirits which bubbled over.
She said: “It was just one of those things, both teams were eager to win and there were two highly charged sets of guys.
“The boys got a bit heated but it was not drastic – it is not a big issue.
“It happens on football matches and rugby games every Saturday and in big games at Twickenham so it is sad when it is only highlighted for a military match.â€
She also said the event is primarily a sporting fixture as both teams contested the Trafalgar Cup, not a family charity event.
The match was hosted by the Royal Marines at Taunton Rugby Club to celebrate their 350th anniversary.
