    Warrington’s Paul Wood

    You just can’t ignore a headline such as “Wood loses testicle in Grand Final.” We know rugby isn’t a game for sissies, but this brings a whole new meaning to pain. You can wince a little bit gents, it’s OK. I did.

    English Rugby League club Warrington played against Leeds in the Grand Final of the Rugby League Championship at Leeds Old Trafford over the weekend. Taking a knee to the crotch early into the second half, Warrington prop Paul Wood continued playing until the end of the game. He even gave post-match media interviews before heading to the hospital.

    Once there, I can only assume that he declined anesthesia, and proceeded to hack out the ruptured testicle himself. Seriously, is this the toughest man alive? I can’t see this happening in a football game.

    Tweeting one of his fellow players late on Saturday night:

    Ruptured my right testicle mate, got a knee 1 minute into the second half, had to have it removed tonight.

    He left the hospital on Sunday, still tweeting in good spirits:

    Just coming out the hospital to go home… Seriously feel like I’ve left something???

    To make things worse, his team lost the match against Leeds 18-26. I wonder which event stung more, seeing as this man clearly doesn’t feel any pain.

      ‘winch’ a little bit gents. to winch is to wind up. wince is the word you want, except if I’m missing an elaborate pun. As for ‘raptured’ testicle, I very much doubt there was much rapture in the rupture.

      Well spotted, smartaleckycopygirl. As I wipe the egg from my face, as well as the face of my editor, I can think only to blame the combination of a Monday morning and the thought of damage to my wedding tackle. *crosses legs awkwardly* Duly corrected.
