This rugby player took the phrase 'running through a brick wall' way too literally

They do things differently in Australia, that’s for sure.

IN AN ERA of sports science and analytics where every single measurable is, eh, measured to assess athletes, there’s very little room for heart, for bravery for guys who’ll run through a brick wall on television just to try earn a professional rugbly league contract.

Wait… what?

Down in Australia, David Andjelz is taking part in a reality show called The NRL Rookie and to prove just how tough/desperate he is, he literally ran through a brick wall.

His thought process seems a little flawed to us though:

““All these people lifting weights, what’s that got to do with the footy field?

“Yeah, it makes you better physically, but it’s what’s [in the heart] that counts.”

At least Clermont won one consolation prize after their latest European heartbreak

    @Brian Dunne: very good player but being part of a back 4 that conceded 3 against villa, 6 against city and 4 against Brentford probably negates it.

    @Brian Dunne: united have taken some wallopings this season with Martinez at the back. 6 against City, was taken off at half time when they were 4 nil down at Brentford etc. Couldn’t have him near it if your being honest with your selection

    @Brian Dunne: I think the jury are still out on him a bit, the defence looks weak when Varane isn’t there. I said before that United first 11 are good but when there’s any changes made at all they are exposed and it’s like watching last season again.

    Alisson best GK by far. Xhaka ahead of Silva.

    Oh dear those numbers on that team image would haunt me. Get Haaland in the 9, get the right and left fulls in 2, 3. Get Rodri in 6, wingers 7 and 11. I can’t be the only one bugged by that numbering.

    5 players from Man City, 4 from Newcastle, and only 2 from Arsenal. Remind me again, who is top of the league, and have been for quite a while?

    No. As a man city fan I can say Cancelo and Rodri have been far from their best and should be nowhere near this team.

    Saka and Almiron shouldn’t be in there. Saka has been good but not amazing. Martinelli and Odegaard have been just as good. Their combination is the reason for arsenals good season rather than any of them individually. Almiron has been good the last few weeks but he was nowhere to found the first 8-10 games. Kane and Salah should be in there. Spurs and Liverpool would be nowhere near where they are without them
