Rugby player loses testicle after final defeat
(CNN) — British rugby league player Paul Wood has lost a testicle after a collision during the English sport’s showpiece final at Manchester’s Old Trafford stadium on Saturday.
Wood was playing for the Warrington Wolves against Leeds Rhinos in the Super League Grand Final.
The prop sustained the injury one minute into the second half, but managed to play the rest of the match before seeking treatment.
Despite Wood’s determined effort, Warrington lost the match 26-18 to 2011 champions Leeds.
“Ruptured my right testicle, got a knee one minute into the second half, had to have it removed,” tweeted the 30-year-old father of two.

If you can take a knee to the nuts and keep on playing you’re a better man than me.

Reminds me of a story that Lady McCrotch told me yesterday about which is more painful, giving birth or getting kicked in the nuts.
A woman may consider having another baby, but a man would never say “Hey, I think I’d like to have another kick in the nuts.”

And @Edith McCrotch – maybe you would if you had something wonderful (like a baby) as a reward.
