TOUGH NUT BRIGADE
Paul Wood (2012): Warrington Wolves prop played on in the Super League grand final after rupturing his right testicle and later lost it

Virgil Livers (1976): Chicago Bears cornerback took a knee to the groin while blocking a punt, and his testicle exploded

Buck Shelford (1986): All Blacks legend had his scrotum ripped open by a vicious French boot during a ruck. He had the physio sew it back up and he returned to the field

Legend.....enough said.....or as we used to say in the old days 'bring back Buck'

He was an All Black legend......jeepers we have had a few of them. I love rugby these days...my first few yrs in Aust were rather disappointing as you boys continually kicked our butt.....these days its a different scene. I would encourage all your Queenslanders to get along next weekend and watch one of the greatest teams of all time run around the paddock.....should be a ripper

Sadly living in Queensland I've never heard of this Rugby game nor NSW's

He was one tough motherfarker.

See pic below Ted.



Edit: You could always rely on the gutless French for that dirty play.

Shelford has a biz here in WA - been here for a few years now
