All I know about rugby players is that they can drink their body weight in alcohol, and they'll play with two broken legs.

He wasn't punched, he basically collided with the goal keeper. It's not that hard to imagine when you think about the amount of concentrated force coming down on your heart/chest. Broken ribs can spear through your internals, you can knock you hearts rhythm out of whack, etc...

Yup, it's quite possible he died of commotio corids, which is basically arrhythmia (usually ventricular fibrillation) caused by low-impact, blunt trauma to the chest without penetration. Not enough details, though

Hehe, he said penetration.
