@worldrugby 7s Ref Anthony Moyes is one of the best in the game...but not good enough to dodge this bullet from @manly.marlins.rugby last weekend. Hope things go better for him at #rio2016 #mandown #snipered #bloopers #rugby #TORS #TheOtherRugbyShow @usasevensrugby @rugbycomau @rugbydump @rugbynation @rugbygram @pasionporrugby @officialrugbyrampage

Referee Anthony Moyes will be heading to Rio for the Olympic Sevens, but last weekend he found himself on the wrong end of a Manly Marlins clearance kick that clipped him straight in the face, sending him to the turf. Let's hope his positioning and reactions are a bit better in Rio! It's similar to the time Wayne Barnes got knocked down, and when Matt Toomua got 'falconed' in a Test match againt New Zealand. There was also that classic moment in Australia many years back, when a referee got knocked out by the ball. Not to mention Cory Jane and Kurtley Beale both having their moments. In Rugby League in 2008 there was also a crazy incident as Queensland's Michael Crocker got hit by the ball and had to leave the field, concussed.
