Game over!
A beer-drinking challenge took a hilarious turn when a player misjudged a slide and collided with a table full of pints.
Video of the incident, in Wales, shows a player from Blaina RFC, smashing head-first into the table after sliding too far on his stomach on Saturday.
The challenge has been popular among amateur rugby clubs in Wales and sees players downing booze after using a water slide mat.
The event was going as expected until one player brought it to a premature close.
The captain of Blaina, Luke Rees, explained: “Everyone just went nuts, they didn’t know whether to be angry or to burst out laughing, he took a bit of roasting for it.”
The 25-year-old added: ”It brought everyone together a bit more, it was a special moment that meant we left Saturday in arms together.
“A big part of being a rugby club in South Wales is having fun and making real connections, that was our aim for Saturday, just to bring the old and new players together. This definitely brought us closer.
“To be completely honest, it came from the back of another rugby club doing it and us seeing the video online, thinking it would be fun to try.”
