Counties prop Jono Owen smashes Manawatu flyhalf Tomasi Cama

Late last night I posted a quick clip to the RD Facebook Page just so some of you could get your fix after what was a busy day here. The reaction was good, so those who missed it can check it out now.

On that note, if you're a Facebook user and not already a fan, or you don't like Rugbydump, then make sure you head across and click Like, or do so on the sidebar here.

It's a great way of keeping up to date with the latest clips and rugby news from around the world, as well as the occasional video that gets posted for users there.

Back to this clip though, and this awesome hit by the big prop on Sevens specialist Tomasi Cama, who clearly picked the wrong channel as the far bigger Jono Owen lent his full weight into him.

To Cama's credit, watch closely as he attempts to catch the ball on the way down, despite having just received one of the meatier hits of the season.

There's not much more to say about it, except 'Welcome to my shoulders'.

Time: 0:51

firsttttt,,,, ouch!

Love it. No. 10 gets up pretty quickly though, to be fair to him.

I cant believe he looked up and still didn't try to hit the gap or step very slightly? If you are a smallish back prob not the brightest idea to run against a big boy like that...Boom town.

Nice solid hit. Can't stand Tomasi Cama either so I'm happy.

if you run around long enough on a rugby pitch, the fat men WILL FIND YOU.

Abbyno7,
Would have been funny if Owen tapped Cama on the head.

perhaps get the same reaction like the last time Cama lost his shizzle (it's on RD)

Heh. Great Tackle.

But Tomasi Cama was all class and grit. He stood up and smiled.

That is the way to do it, despite the fact that your insides may be absolute melting jelly.

I like TC. He is an excellent and hard sevens player.

@cheyanqui

Yep. I remember it was a legendary Serevi game winning clincher try.

The pat on his head in that one was hilarious.

tomasi is totally fine he just had 300 pounds hit him cleanly pretty average tackle

great composure from the hitee (the person hit)

And yes, great hands. manages not to knock on - incredible really, considering the impact and the way his head went back so quickly at first.

But he did knock on Mise.

EARugbyFan,

Yeah, that was the one where Serevi carried the ball into the try zone like a pizza delivery man.

"Welcome to my shoulder!"
