Naqelevuki on the other hand, barely flinched. As if the initial blow wasn’t bad enough, the impact as Jane hit the floor was also pretty horrific.br /br /"I got knocked the f**k out lol. That's what happens when 120kgs hits 88kg," he said later that night on Twitter, adding the next day that his face looks like it’s been hit by a bus.br /br /The Hurricanes, who lost badly to the Cheetahs a week ago, now travel to Pretoria for a meeting with the formidable title holders, the Bulls. Their tour has been a disaster so far, and doesn’t look like improving any time soon, according to the New Zealand media.br /br /On a positive note, Ma’a Nonu has been let off after he was cited for a dangerous tackle on Stormers flyhalf Peter Grant. The judicial officer felt that the penalty on the field at the time was fair punishment for the high, no-arms tackle.br /br /It’s Nonu's third misdemeanour in three matches, following yellow cards against both the Lions and the Cheetahs. The Hurricanes will at least be boosted by his availability for the Bulls match, following the loss of Jane after this sickening blow.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EKEr_ftnj3oamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EKEr_ftnj3oamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /div style="text-align: center;"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;":: Related Posts ::/spanbr /a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2008/02/friday-funnies-corey-jane-charge-down.html"Friday Funnies - The Cory Jane charge down with the face/abr /a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2007/05/london-rugby-sevens-naqelevuki-red-card.html"Naqelevuki red card at the London Rugby Sevens/abr //span/divspan style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time:/span 02:36/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-6530798927010748030?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=duiSicsfiB8:lM9u71yHMaQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/duiSicsfiB8" height="1" width="1"/ More...
