Just try watch this hit and not wince.
Because we’ve watched it a few times now, and we can still feel it.
Steve Matai crashed into an unsuspecting Dave Tyrrell in a NRL game between South Sydney Rabbitohs and Manly Sea Eagles. The South Sydney player collected a pass and attempted to run straight down the middle.
He went about two yards before Matai absolutely levelled him.

Matai ran through the blind-sighted Tyrrell for a short-cut, bulldozing his opponent and laying him clean out.
The South Syndey player has previous. Here’s his “greatest hits” from last season, have a look if you’re brave enough.
