There's a long, storied history of rugby players being ridiculously tough and playing through injuries that would send other athletes to the locker room. This video, of Lindenwood University rugby sevens player Georgia Page, is a fine addition to that legacy:

Page, who is from Australia, broke her nose on the play, but stayed on the field to make two big hits despite bleeding all over the place.
