Above is a compilation of some of the biggest and baddest amateur rugby clips floating around online. They've been ripped from Youtube etc, and we realise that - for some reason - the video also includes a few professional clips from Rugby League and women's rugby.
It's still worth watching for some of the other massive tackles and collisions though. Junior, Senior, High School, College, School, University and Club rugby is all shown.

I think my favourite is the one at 0:43, for the sheer distance the bloke sprints so he can smash that guy. Makes you wonder if there's some subtext involved, eg revenge hit for something earlier in the game, a-la-Lewsey v Rogers. The pass by green under pressure and his teammate's finish are also neat.
I believe the point in RD's write-up was the video features professional women's rugby (and professional rugby league), despite the title stating amateur.
1:15 - I wonder if the gesticulating moron wearing #2 is our old friend PhillNZ??
To be fair, he bloody well should have!
1:08 did the tackler get a red card for spearing himself?
Thanks for showing amateur rugby.
