Video: Schalk Brits is felled by referee Wayne Barnes

The big fella goes down way too easily here...

The big fella goes down way too easily here…

In the Aviva Premiership at the weekend, Saracens took on the Chiefs in a fairly uneventful 23-10 win for Sarries. But one of Saracens big names, and biggest units, Springbok Schalk Brits, took a very unusual tumble.

Just after a loose line out, the big hooker collides with Barnes and goes down like he has been hit by a bus. Barnes is not the smallest referee in the world but he manages to stay upright as the 100kg Brits goes sprawling.

And, thanks to Ref Cam, you get to see it in super close up (main pic), and see just how pissed off Brits is.
