So this is what the biggest hit of the last 100 years looks like and no surprise, it happened in New Zealand. More specifically, it happened in the Otago region, where the Higlanders used to play at a stadium nicknamed the 'House of Pain'. Zingari-Richmond wing Enoke Naivalulevu was running down the wing in a local league match, minding his own business, when he was struck by a human torpedo in the form of Harbour back row Ratu Dawai. Otago Rugby uploaded the video to Youtube and are calling it the hit of the century. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNvp7OMy-ps You have the appreciate the wing's toughness to hop right up after shipping such a monstrous hit. Once again... smash   Hit of the century? It might not even be the best hit in New Zealand rugby from the last week...
