Ian Roberts (2nd rower) absolutely pulverised Garry Jack who called him a 'fag', behind the goal posts. Garry Jack's face looked like a punctured arsehole.
I wrote my response to Bobby before I saw your post. Interesting to note that the more high profile celebrity that came out as gay, Ian Roberts, seems to not interest Bobby as an example of a physically strong homosexual person.
I looked up the youtube video of the fight between Roberts and Jack. Garry Jack must have done something to get that kind of treatment.

Ian Roberts, Australia’s first professional rugby league player to come out as gay, has in an emotional interview with The Daily Telegraph laid bare the consequences of his historic decision made in 1995.
It has been revealed, shortly after Robert’s announcement, the former Rabbitohs, Sea Eagles and Cowboys front-rower found himself the victim of a violent assault. He was dragged, kicked and abused while unconscious on the concrete while walking along the Sydney Harbour foreshore. “That moment changed me,” Roberts now recalls.
Reflecting on the same period of time in 1995, Roberts graphically recalls when he was assaulted by a spectator who punched Roberts in the face – calling him a “faggot” – as Sea Eagles players left the field at halftime during a match between Manly and St George at an oval in Kogarah in Southern Sydney.
