I know there is an RL thread going at the minute - i think this warrants its own though.
Paul Wood of Warrington Wolves (my team) took a knee to the groin early in the second half, rupturing a testicle in the process. He played on with the injury until he was 'interchanged' later in the half. He remained on the bench icing his tackle ready to return to the field if required. He did media interviews in the dressing room after the game only going to hospital later that night. He had to have the ruptured testicle removed.
The bloke has been laughing and joking about it on twitter (@paulwood_wolves) and there is an interview with him on the BBC website.
It take some effort to carry on after taking any sort of smack to the tackle - this was something else though given how serious the injury was. It also says a lot about how tough the blokes that play RL are.
