There's playing rugby, and then there's breaking your nose and still taking two players to the ground.

Australia-born Lindenwood University rugby player Georgia Page has become an Internet sensation after displaying an epic amount of toughness at a Rugby Sevens game against Notre Dame University last week.

After having her nose broken during play, Page managed to get back on her feet, tackle another player and even clear out the ruck like it was no big deal.

Since dubbed the "war goddess" online, Page took the opportunity to point out it was lucky anyone could see her feat at all -- the Collegiate Rugby Championship "Sevens" women's games were not televised live, she wrote on Twitter, while the men's were.

It's disappointing to know that even when women's rugby has a player as badass as Page, the sport still doesn't get treated with the respect it deserves.

Don't they know the Khaleesi expects better?
