You’re always told to tackle low in rugby. Sometimes tackling low means a fractured jaw.
Konrad Hurrell of the New Zealand Warriors will land himself with a three week suspension, after this gruesome knee o the face that left an opponent hospitalised.
He took on the ball in his side’s meeting with the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at the weekend, with the Sharks Anthony Tupou attempting to tackle him.
Hurrell jumped knee-first at the tackler, connecting with his face and sending him crashing to the ground.
While he wasn’t given a card at the time, he was put on report by the referee, and it’s expected he’ll pick up a three week suspension.
His opponent, Tupou wasn’t so lucky, ending up in hospital with a quadruple fractured jaw, and several dislodged teeth.
Tupou later posted this incredibly sore looking post to Twitter.
Get well soon Anthony Tupou….its photos like these that make me glad I'm retired…#toughgame pic.twitter.com/UC2Pp8BkMw
