A video of Australian rugby player Georgia Page playing with a broken nose is getting a ton of attention. Now, Page says she hopes she can inspire girls to try out the sport.
Georgia Page plays women's rugby for Lindenwood University in Missouri. However, after this weekend she is now known as the "Rugby War Goddess."
The Australian was playing in a match on Thursday when she broke her nose in the first tackle of the game.
"I remember falling down and thinking, oh my god, my nose is on the other side of my face," Page told BuzzFeed News.
She added that she was also playing with separated AC joint that day.
However, Page was undeterred and kept playing. She even made another tackle before she was taken off. "I just got up and started playing again," she said.
USA Sevens Rugby shared a video of Page with blood pouring down her face, and dubbed her the "Rugby War Goddess." The video soon blew up online.
