Samoan Rugby Player Gets De-Cleated (Video)

ByPhil Watson|

Rugby is not a sport for the faint of heart, particularly those who participate in it. Still for those who enjoy the thrill of a bone-jarring hit sans any sort of padding, well, here you go.

B.J. Leilua had just taken control of the ball and was looking for a teammate as Toa Samoa played New Zealand recently in the 2014 Rugby League Four Nations tournament at Toll Stadium in Whangarei, New Zealand.

But as Leilua was looking for a place to pitch the ball, New Zealand’s Manu Vatuvei had Leilua in his crosshairs.

As the video below will show, his aim was pretty much spot on:

My head is still ringing just from watching it.

As for the match itself, the Kiwis posted a 14-12 win over Samoa to improve to 2-0 in the three-game round-robin event, while Samoa fell to 0-2. England and Australia have split their first two games.

On Saturday, the Kiwis face the English, while Australia will take on Samoa.

The top two teams on the table advance to the Four Nations final, set for Nov. 15 at Westpac Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand.

This is the fourth staging of the Four Nations, which was held annually from 2009-11 and is now a bi-annual event.

Australia was the champion in 2009 and 2011, with New Zealand taking the title in 2010.

The 2016 Rugby League Four Nations is set to be played in England and Scotland.
