Georgia Page, we salute you.
We are in awe of Page, who plays her Sevens Rugby, Statesside, with Lindenwood Women. After shipping a big blow, making a tackle, the Aussie had her nose busted and looked out of action. That left her team stretched - 7 vs. 6 - but she got to her feet, rejoined the line and made another big tackle. Not content with that, she then tried to counter-ruck like the rugby heroine she so obviously is. She has given an interview to Athletes Talk in America and it has yielded some choice quotes,like how she's coping with the sudden attention 'Well for me, I just call it playing rugby. But Americans aren’t used to that I don’t think. I guess I just got up and kept playing. I was just doing my job for the team.' She also deadpans with a brilliant answer when asked how much pain she was in after smashing her septum'It felt like somebody had punched me 20 times in the face.'Naturally playing with a broken nose is tough-just ask Georgia
'Sevens is a killer for endurance and it’s hard when you can’t breathe out of your nose.'
