Here’s a video clip from the Northampton – Bedford friendly rugby match in England last weekend. That freight train of pain comes via the 6’5″, 260-pound Courtney Lawes of Northampton. The poor guy on the receiving end was 6’1″, 191-pound Mike Le Bourgeois of Bedford. Looks like Le Bourgeois might be sipping his meals through straws for the next couple weeks. Absolutely...

Plus it has guys like Tendai “Beast” Mtawarira, a Zimbabwean-born rugby union player for the Sharks of the Super Rugby league playing in it, and as you’re about to see, Mtawarira lives...
