Rugby player's "Cucumber" almost torn off in tackle Empty Rugby player's "Cucumber" almost torn off in tackle

Admittedly RL but....OUCH.

A rugby league player says his Winkle was nearly torn off in a game last month. Haydn Peacock suffered the partial dismemberment while playing for French team AS Carcassonne last month. Luckily, he's now fine and able to joke about it.

Unsurprisingly, his description of the the incident is fairly graphic so we've replaced some of the ruder words with fruit and veg.
"When we played the other week their centre pretty much ripped my [cucumber] off", he told journalist and former player Guy Williams, who runs the website French Footy.

Haydn Peacock was raised in Australia but has a British passport and represents Ireland internationally. The intimate injury happened when a player from St Esteve Catalans Dragons grabbed his groin. Haydn needed eleven stitches. Think about that for a second, eleven stitches.
"I took the ball off the scrum and made a half-break, and their centre has come across from the inside and reached out in a last-ditch effort and has got a hold of my [turnip] with one hand and pulled me down."

He continued playing, somehow not noticing the damage until half-time. "I checked on it and the skin is half ripped off and I was like, where's the doctor? "In all of my career I've never heard of anyone having anything like that happen - 11 stitches in the [butternut squash]"
Despite the tough tackle on his tough tackle, Haydn won't be wearing protection for future encounters.

"I remember I had to strap it all up for the next game...the coach wanted me to go out and buy a cup but I'm not going to play with a cup,
"I got the stitches out and it's all sweet. No dramas."

At least we know what happened to it after it was ripped off....

It renamed itself and began posting on here under the username 'bumble'.

Didn't something happen to Joe Worsley at a Quins game!
Remember some kind of announcement asking his parents to come to the medical room ASAP.
