I’m being headpunted

[Mich the Tester]

Yep, last time I played rugby I got a big cut on my head from some fat twunt’s boot. I don’t know but I think this headpunting thing’s overrated.

Giving is far better than receiving in that case

When I still played I once ended up with a broken nose and mild concussion after trying to block a punt and getting hit in the face with the ball.

I can't understand why this thread was moved.

I know, it's a perfectly reasonable sports related thread.

Apparently the results of my attempted block were rather spectacular. I jumped up to block the ball as the guy kicked it, he cocked up the kick and it went low and caught me in the face. I went over backwards in mid air and landed like a sack of potatoes, whacking my head into the turf on the way.

Ah yes, the infamous double dummy nutter move! Best is when you get a rebound off your face, one of your mates jumps on the ball for a try, and then everyone congratulates you while you're still trying to figure out wtf happened. It's happened to me more than once.
