A RUGBY PLAYER is going viral for playing on – and making two tackles - with an extremely broken nose.
Australian Georgia Page plays rugby for Lindenwood University in Missouri. During a match on Thursday, she broke her nose in a tackle gone wrong:

I remember falling down and thinking, oh my god, my nose is on the other side of my face.
EEK. Despite this, and having blood pouring down her face, Page got up and played on.

This rather gnarly Vine of Page nonchalantly spitting blood out of her mouth immediately began to go viral, as she was dubbed the ‘Rugby War Goddess’.

The internet is just a little bit in awe of her:
That rugby player Georgia Page who broke her nose on the pitch and played on is giving me life #GetItGurl

Page says she’s glad of the coverage she’s received, as it focuses attention on women’s rugby. She said it upsets her to see how little coverage the sport receives – for example, US channel NBC Sports played their game in the background of another segment.
I hope it’s a good promoter for women’s rugby. I hope that it does empower girls to want to play [the sport].
