Watch: Former All Blacks and Blues star takes down man in kebab shop

You often see some sights in kebab shops.

Like a lighthouse for drunks it regularly attracts the hungry and the inebriated.

However, here's something you rarely see outside a rugby pitch and that's a former international star showing just why you should never mess with an athlete built like a wall - especially one that played for Cardiff Blues and the All Blacks.

And especially one in need of a kebab.

So fair play to former Blues captain Xavier Rush for humouring this brave gentleman who thought he would take his chance on charging a former professional rugby player.

The results are predictably what you would expect.

And a round of applause to Xavier for immediately prioritising his kebab after he'd sent the plucky bloke flying.

The flattened fella definitely needs a concussion protocol. That or an emergency donor kebab.

Don't see the point if covering this as it was all over social medua anyway, so it's old hat by the time you grab it. Please focus on real journalism, and relevant newsworthy items
