Just watching this made us wince.

During last weekend’s Top 14 clash between Grenoble and Montpellier, Kiwi number eight Rory Grice laid down a significant physical marker on Montpellier’s Ben Lucas.

Catching the Australian late, the ferocity of Grice’s shoulder saw a yellow card brandished, justifiably, and the injury withdrawal of Lucas.

Now, here’s an oddity: a centre standing his ground and standing strong whilst a prop bounces off him.

That’s exactly what happened during Toulon and Grenoble’s Top 14 clash a few weeks ago.

Chilachava, a 23 year old Georgian, received the ball in the wide channel and attempted to mow over Hunt, but was met Hunt’s Kiwi resistance.

Hunt, however, lead with his foreman and didn’t make an attempt at a legal tackle and was subsequently yellow carded, whilst Chilachava received treatment from the Toulon medics.
