WATCH: Bone-crunching hits and naughty fights will have you craving rugby return

Rugby fans all over the world have been starved of rugby action over the past few months but this montage of big hits will satisfy the drought.

England star Owen Farrell features early on for his scuffle with former teammate Schalk Brits in 2013 while Fijian powerhouses Josua Tuisova and Semi Radradra also play their part with some brutal tackles.

Although the footage features clips of rugby league and sevens the majority of the action is union and showcases some of the most textbook challenges and illegal hits of recent years.
