(Video) Watch This Rugby Player Stomp On The Face Of An Opponent

As if you needed any more evidence about how brutal of a sport rugby is, this match on Saturday between the South Africa-based Sharks and the New Zealand-based Canterbury Crusaders may take the cake.

The best part? Taufua didn't whine and cry in the media about his obvious misfortune. He proceeded to tweet out that he was fine after the game, save for a couple of stitches.

Why hasn't this caught on in America yet?

Thanks to Bryan Rose of SI.com for the find.
