Georgia Page plays women’s rugby for Lindenwood University in Missouri and after this weekend she is now known as the “Rugby War Goddess.”

She broke her nose in the first tackle of the game.

However, Page was undeterred and kept playing. She even made another tackle before she was taken off. 

The video blew up and Georgia said she thinks her “war goddess” nickname is pretty hilarious.

“I honestly started laughing,” she said.

She also said she is happy that all of the media attention is shining a spotlight onto her sport. “I love how it does show what rugby is really about,” she said.

She also said she wants girls to know, they are all tough enough to play rugby too. “I hope that it does empower girls to want to play rugby,” she said.
