This Rugby Hit by Lolo Lui Is as Hard as They Come (Video)
I don’t know much about rugby. I know you score by running the ball into an end zone or kicking it through uprights. I know there are no forward passes, just like American gridiron football circa 1910. I know that rugby players are tough as nails. And I know there is something called rugby league, [...]

Female Rugby Fan Gets Knocked Out Trying to Break Up a Brawl (Videos)
I’ve covered fan fights a lot over the last few years, and I’ve seen just about every kind of fight you can imagine. You know what I’ve learned? Well, not much, actually. But I can think of at least one thing: don’t try to break up these fights. I mean, have you seen what these [...]

Rugby Fans Brawl During Super League Match in South Africa (Video)
There was a really nasty brawl at the Sharks-Kings game back on March 9. However, it wasn’t the Sharks-Kings game you’re thinking. The San Jose Sharks played the Blues that day, and the Los Angeles Kings played the Flames. No, the Sharks and Kings I’m talking about are South African rugby teams based in Durban [...]

Meet Carlin Isles, the Fastest Rugby Player in the World (Video)
Apparently when you’re an extremely gifted athlete, you can pick up new sports pretty quickly. Take American sprinter Carlin Isles, for example. He didn’t make the cut for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Track Team, so he missed out on London. However, his personal best for the 100m is 10.13 seconds, which would have put him [...]

Rugby Player Ruptures Testicle During Match, Keeps Playing
British rugby player Paul Wood would have given his right nut to get his team, the Warrington Wolves, a victory in the Super League Grand Final in Manchester this past Saturday. In fact, he did give his right nut. But, sadly, Warrington still lost to the Leeds Rhinos 26-18. You see, early in the second [...]

Springboks’ Dean Greyling Delivers Vicious Elbow To The Head Of All Blacks’ Richie McCaw (Video)
Another chapter was added to one of rugby’s most storied rivalries, as the New Zealand All Blacks faced off against the South Africa Springboks during Round 4 of the 2012 Four Nations Rugby Championship on Saturday. And it was a rather brutal chapter, to say the least, as the match was marred by a vicious [...]

This Is One Vicious Rugby Hit (Video)
Last Tuesday we told you about the South Sydney Rabbitohs’ epic last-minute comeback against the Sydney Roosters of Australia’s National Rugby League. This Tuesday, oddly enough, we have yet another story about the Rabbitohs. However, while it’s pretty awesome, it’s not what you would call “inspiring.” On Saturday night, the Rabbitohs faced off against the [...]

Canadian Women’s Rugby Team Raises Money With A Nude Calendar (SFW Photos)
Going to the Olympics can be quite expensive for some athletes. So often athletic teams have to raise money, not just for the Olympics but also for the well-being of their respective sports, in general. After all, not all sports make the big bucks that professional baseball, football, or soccer leagues make. So athletes will [...]

Scottish Rugby Players Celebrate Huge Win Over Aussies With Flying Headbutt (Video)
When I first came across this story, I assumed the so-called “flying headbutt” was on purpose. After all, it’s rugby players we’re talking about, and they are nothing if not two things: tough as nails, and completely insane. But it turns out that they aren’t quite insane enough to intentionally smash their skulls together at [...]

Rugby Player “Beast” Catches Teammate By His Shorts (Video)
His name is Tendai Mtawarira, but many rugby fans simply refer to him as “Beast.” That nickname is certainly no overstatement. Beast made that quite clear during a recent Super Rugby match against the Stormers, as the Sharks’ prop lifted one of his teammates high over his head during a kickoff. And just when it [...]

Pitch Invader Gets Jacked Up By A Rugby Player (Video)
Most television networks choose not to show viewers footage of pitch invaders running onto the field of play because they feel that doing so would only encourage others to partake in similar activities. While that may be true in certain instances, something tells me that anyone who saw Olly Barkley dunk a pitch invader during [...]

UltimateBall Is Like Rugby In An MMA Cage (Video)
Mixed martial arts and rugby are two of the most physical sports I can think of, but what happens when you combine them both? You get a free-for-all sport by the name of UltimateBall, which pits two teams of four against one another as they attempt to score on the opposing team’s net while avoiding [...]

During Friday’s NRL match between the Brisbane Broncos and the Wests Tigers, the Broncos’ Ben Te’o laid a devastating shoulder charge on the chin of Matt Groat that could keep both players out of action for a while.

11 Biggest Badasses In The History Of The Rugby World Cup
Originally, I thought I’d bring you a list of the greatest upsets in Rugby World Cup history for today. But as the group stage of the 2011 tournament draws to a close, the fact that the opening round matches have yielded precisely zero upsets thus far really took the wind out of those sails. Maybe [...]
