This looks nasty.

South Africa failed to win their third World Cup after they were narrowly beaten by New Zealand in Twickenham on Saturday. Such a close loss to their biggest rivals will hurt, and you could see the pain on the face of South African captain Fourie du Preez in his post-match interview. Literally. Du Preez showed up to the interview sporting a bump the size of a bloody tennis ball on the side of his face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGLuekETwN8 People took notice of not just the bump, but the interviewer's choice of words: https://twitter.com/DanielHarris/status/657974819523203072
