Dr. Stephen Durant, 59, laughs about it now, but for most people, having your eye accidentally gouged in a rugby game is not funny.
“I’m literally in the blood and the mud, praying, ‘Dear Jesus, I’m in trouble,’ ” said Durant, recalling the incident last October that ended his rugby career.

What an incredible man! The world could use alot more men like Dr. Stephen Durant, great article. His courage and insight lept out of the pages. Thank you for an uplifting article. There is always a positive if you look for it.
Great article Mr. Grossfeld, very well written and with a message that is important to anyone who finds themselves in a struggle. Thank you.
Agreed - great article. But why would he do it again? Aren't sports violent enough?
