Australian Georgia Page who was playing for the US university team Lindenwood against Notre Dame continued in the game despite her injury.

The rugby player took to social media after the game to state that although her face was “looking much better” she was still having difficulty breathing out of her nose.

Ms Page’s love of the game helped her team to avert a Notre Dame try and the internet has exploded with the player's strength and love for the game to continue playing.
