Rugby isn't a man's sport -- it's for straight-up warriors only.
Georgia Page is a warrior herself and proved it when she made this hard tackle, breaking her nose in the process:
She didn't stop playing, either. She's a beast. I mean, imagine the scene LeBron would make if this happened to him!
This has to be one of the most badass females on the planet:
In rugby, you're expected to play through injuries, but even her coaches had to think this was a little too OD.
Sure, hockey is tough and football is hard-hitting, but at least those dudes have pads! Nothing compares to rugby and these are the epic moments we're reminded of that.
Luckily, Georgia was able to smile and take a selfie after the game.

However, anyone ever tackled by 6'7" Courtney Lawes can't say the same.
Rugby is not a sport where you display any kind of weakness...
...or else, you will be man-handled.
And when in doubt, players will just use their instincts.
Unlike football and hockey, there are no pads or helmets...
...and this is how they show respect after games.
At the end of the day, you can either lift up your teammates...
...or slam your opponents to the ground.
Rugby players are so tough they replace bottle openers with knocked-out teeth.
Still, there's a way to make it look good when you're doing it.
When fighting is a part of the game...
...you better have a strong chin.
Still, these are classy players who respect each other after the game.
