HERE’S A TACKLE the likes of which you rarely see in rugby – and even rarely so when it’s in the women’s game.
If you’re a fan of hard hits, you’re in for a treat: here’s Fiona Pocock of the England women’s team, bearing down on the Australian line during England’s 15-0 semi-final victory over Australia during the week.
Or, at least, she was bearing down – until Nicole Beck came in with a gargantuan, and perfectly-timed, tackle to bundle Pocock over the line and into safety.
