Super 14 Rugby Is Face-Shot-Tastic

Published by Dave at 3:54 pm under Rugby Football

I so wanted to write a headline here about a hooker getting a facial, but alas, Cory Jane is the fullback for the Hurricanes, not the hooker. Still, his pain is our gain, as he takes one for the team against the Waratahs. If this happened more often, rugby would be a lot more popular in America.

(For the record, I tried to upload this to YouTube, but it didn’t want to cooperate with me today. I guess they has enough face shot videos for one lifetime at that site.)

UPDATE (2/16): Better-quality YouTube vid is here.

    We call that “Falcon” named after Mario “The Maltese Falcon” Fenech after a famous and endlessly replayed incident of getting hit in the head with the ball

    I like the way the abbreviated team names at the bottom of the screen are also the first words he uttered after he got up.

    “W’Tah? Hurr!”
