Rugby player suffers worst finger injury ever, bone pops out, he wants to play on

James Horwill is some tough mother.

The Australian second row is enjoying a northern hemisphere stint with Harlequins but he was in the absolute wars today. The former Wallabies captain was attempting to get his team out of a 19-point hole, against Leicester Tigers, when he broke his index finger and broke it quite badly. The top of his finger was skewed at a horrendous right angle and there was a clear exposure of bone. Typical of stubborn rugby forwards, Horwill asked the Harlequins physios if they could tape it up so he could play on. The images of the break are right below so brace yourself.
