Rugby league player loses testicle in rugby final
But no one was killed or is missing, so in other words, it was actually a pretty tame contest.

It takes balls, or “ball” in this case, to finish the game despite the pain I imagine that injury caused.

Gave his right nut and still lost?

I remember a bumper sticker years ago that said: “Rugby players eat their dead.”

In Rugby Union a player can lose all four and keep going.
Rugby is THE Sh!t. Now that the NFL is Pussified, we need to make rugby union popular in the USA. I’m blessed to be able to see live international matches in Tokyo.

Still he is no Wayne Shelford.....
‘Shelford made his Test debut for the All Blacks later that year against France in a 197 victory in Toulouse, and then was a notable victim of the infamous “Battle of Nantes” in the second Test.
Roughly 20 minutes into the match, he was caught at the bottom of a rather aggressive ruck, and an errant French boot found its way into Shelford’s groin, somehow ripping his scrotum and leaving one testicle hanging free. He also lost four teeth in the process.
Incredibly, after discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed. He was substituted and watched the remainder of the game from the grandstand where he witnessed the All Blacks lose 163. To this day Shelford has no memory of the game.[2]’
