While England taking on New Zealand is the bigger of the two games on at the moment, this big hit from the Wales game is worth a watch

Wales have been giving a very tired looking Argentina side a bit of a beating in the opening half of this autumn international, but Richard Hibbard in particular stood out when he delivered this incredibly powerful hit on Juan Manuel Leguizamón.

The Argentines had made a rare trip into the Welsh half and were trying something from the lineout that they had clearly been working on in training, but Hibbard read it like a book and delivered a massive tackle to stop their momentum.

Needless to say that he’ll be feeling that one in the dressing room at half time.
