I don't really follow rugby but on the few occasions I've watched it I've seen dislocations reset and players crack on, cruciates partially ruptured and they've played on and players take full scale leatherings from an 18 stone wall of muscle and I've never seen one fag out the way we expect footballers to do.
I got smashed in the chops whilst in goal a few weeks back......I mean utterly whacked to the point where I couldn't close my jaw.....I didn't even get offered a wet sponge!!
