WHAT MAKES THE beautiful game so damn beautiful? Big, bone-shuddering tackles of course.
Here’s a few of our favourite hits from the past 12 months of rugby union.
That time Samu Manoa steamrolled Billy Twelvetrees
When all was right with the world, because Stephen Ferris was back playing as only he can
Pity Matuisela Talebula, running in to Bastareaud like that
When Paulie drove back the Wallabies
Craig Burden just plagued Schalk Brits in the last ever Heineken Cup final
When Scott Williams broke himself trying to smash Brian O’Driscoll
“The awesome power of Courtney Lawes”
As our friends at Whiff of Cordite say.
This ugly clash of heads between Quade Cooper and Brad Barritt is hard to watch
This is how not to tackle, kids.
Jamie Cudmore makes Paulie take a rare backward step
A pain in the neck for Richie McCaw
Rodney Ah You took it all out on Alistair Hargreaves
Not a tackle, but a big hand-off from George North to shove Steve Borthwick aside
Got to love Ashton, comically getting dragged along for the ride.

Ooooooooooooooh, Canada!
Canada A second row Aaron Flagg makes us want to watch more Americas Rugby Championship games
Which monster mash did we leave out?
