Not all the worst ones though, the hit to Anthony Tupou left part of his lower jaw sticking out through his mouth... and he still wanted to play on! 😮

I played in the '70s- '90s. You didn't see all of those aerial contact hits very often. Players understood that rugby is a game that you played while on your feet. If you decide to leave your feet you have decided to momentarily quit playing. Since you are no longer playing rugby you no longer have the protection of the Law. We didn't jump up to catch, we went to ground to do so. Hell, I remember this time that a Gaelic Footballer played Fullback for my club. Standing under a high hanger with multiple defenders closing in he chose to Head the ball back some 20 meters. The defense was so stunned (to tell the truth, so were we) that he sprinted past them, scooped it up on the bounce and passed it to a winger to score. It's about choices. Don't go up for the ball.
