WATCH: Ben Tameifuna gets 4 week ban for this monster hit – Huge Rugby News

Large Racing 92 prop Ben Tameifuna has landed himself a 4 week ban following a dangerous tackle in his latest Top 14 outing against Toulon.

The panel didn’t go easy on the big unit with his ban not allowing him to play until Feb 25th.

According to commentators last time he stood on the scales he saw the digits 1 5 3 beside the words ‘KG‘ ? – Check out below the video for some fun facts on what else weighs 153KG. Check out the hit first!!

The timing isn’t great for Racing 92 as they currently sit 6th in the Top 14 and play Scarlets this weekend to hopefully secure top spot in their Champions Cup Pool.

Tameifuna was shown a yellow card in the 71st minute of Racing’s 22-13 win over Toulon last weekend after a big hit on veteran France Out-Half Francois Trinh-Duc.

Trinh-Duc lay at his length for quite some time and did require treatment on the pitch before Tameifuna was sent off.

We’re not envious of Trinh-Duc – who is just over half the weight of the 153kg prop at 85kg!

Things that weight the same as Ben Tameifuna:

  • 7650 Sushis
  • 270 Basketballs
  • 105 Pairs of adidas Kakari Rugby Boots
  • 217 iPads
  • 1510 Blueberry Muffins
  • 1027 Bananas
  • 1315 Copies of Red Dead Redemption 2
