Meet “The Rugby War Goddess”

After seeing this video the first time, all I could muster was "Wow. That is one tough chick." It seems that my sentiment is being echoed by nearly one million people who've taken a look at Georgia Page, an Australian women's rugby player.

From Fox Sports:

SHE’S conquered the internet, now overnight sensation Georgia Page hopes to rise the ranks of Australian women’s rugby as she chases her Olympic dream.

Page has been dubbed the ‘Rugby War Goddess’ after video of her tough tackling heroics while playing with a broken nose in the United States went viral.

Playing for Lindenwood University in the Collegiate Rugby Championship, blood began pouring down Page’s face after copping a nasty head knock and breaking her nose.

 

Okay...so you've broken your nose, and blood is pouring off your face. Obviously it's time to call it a day, right? Wrong.

Just moments after suffering the injury she was back on her feet and producing a moment for the highlight reels, putting a big hit on an opponent from Notre Dame University.

It was only then that the referee noticed the stream of claret on Page’s face and ordered her from the field to seek medical attention.

But she was not done there, returning to the field in the second half and inspiring Lindenwood to a 24-17 victory.
