Four teenagers who went looking for a fight chose the wrong time and place to vent their excess aggression ? and found themselves face-to-face with a senior school rugby team.

Police yesterday confirmed that two wannabe Mike Tysons, aged 15 and 16, arrived at the Saltus Senior School at about 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday and challenged students there to a fight. A school official was able to escort the pair off the property without incident but they returned later ? this time accompanied by two friends.

However, the quartet?s arrival could not have been more badly timed ? for the school?s senior rugby team had turned up for a practice session and forced the would-be fighters to flee.

Police spokesman Dwayne Caines said of the provoking teens: ?Evidently these boys have been a pain for a while.?
