The last time we checked in with…the entire sport of rugby, we saw Wigan Warriors prop Ben Flower savagely KO Lance Hohaia of St Helens RLFC with what BG dubbed “one of the most disgusting fouls I’ve ever seen in a non-combat sport.” And today, it appears that that landmark cheap shot has been surpassed.
Video after the jump.
During a match between the North Wales Crusaders and the Rochdale Hornets over the weekend, Tony Suffolk committed the hands-down most atrocious foul *I’ve* ever seen, tackling Crusaders forward Alex Thompson to the ground in the opening minutes and applying a brutal heel hook that effectively ended Thompson’s season. According to various sources, the heel hook not only ruptured Thompson’s achilles but damaged his MCL as well, forcing him to take unpaid leave from his job as a landscape gardener. (Because believe it or not, not all countries pay their athletes enough to affect entire economies. Weird.)
What an absolutely abhorrent display by Suffolk there, but luckily (and inexplicably), we here at CagePotato have been given the honor of handing down his punishment: Two minutes on the mat with THIS GUY:
God help you, Tony Suffolk.
GOD.
HELP.
YOU.
