Soignies will appeal their 356-3 drubbing at the hands of Royal Kituro in the Belgian rugby first division on Sunday.
Footage of the 'contest' in which Royal Kituro ran in 56 tries has emerged, showing Soignies players refusing to compete - despite taking their place on the pitch - in protest due to the referee not arriving on time.
Soignies club secretary Stephan Carnol said the club would be taking matters further.
"By that time some of our players had gone so we only had 17 available rather than a full squad of 22," Carnol said, dismissing reports more of the club's players had left the Brussels venue.
"We will be appealing to the rugby federation saying that the match was not played in optimal conditions given the absence of the referee."
Despite being on the end of the record thrashing, Soignies remain one spot above Royal Kituro in the league standings - albeit with an inferior point differential.
