Impressive image from Trinidad and Tobago. Mexican rugby sevens international Diego Ramirez Aguilar almost ended the match on a stretcher on Sunday during an official match against Bermuda after being hit by the crossbar. Truthful.
His team was playing in the quarter-final of the Americas North Seven in Arima when the number nine escaped alone, scoring one of his team’s two tries. Only, when he got up after having flattened at the foot of the right post – a post which he touched before falling – the crossbar came unsoldered and fell on his head.
Well I’ve seen it all now…

More fear than harm: after a few seconds on the ground, the rugby player was able to regain his senses, finally able to celebrate what will remain as a magnificent try.
Mexico, coached by former French international Terry Bouhraoua, ultimately won this match 14 points to 0. Ramirez received seven stitches at the end of the game.
