The United States were unable to leave much of a mark on New Zealand as they saw out a 74-6 defeat at the hands of the All Blacks, their loss made all the worse by the bruises they picked up along the way.

And Augustine Pulu achieves top marks in this week's rundown of rugby's biggest knocks, introducing the Eagles' Tom Coolican to exactly what life is like playing against the finest in the sport.

That particular hit made up for the international section of this compilation, with the majority of the high-octane collisions coming courtesy of France. 

Sitting at the top of the pile was an especially physical clash between La Rochelle and Montpellier, with the former's forward pairing of Uini Atonio and Jone Qovu each receiving yellow cards for their illegal attempts on the opposition.

It would be enough to grab the win, however, as the Top 14 new boys managed a 21-15 upset, although the same couldn't be said for Napolioni Nalaga.

His Clermont side would succumb to Bayonne on Saturday, but Nalaga made sure to leave his imprint on the enemy, showing typically monstrous fending skills en route to the try line.

Cardiff Blues No. 8 Manoa Vosawai also pitches in with a superb scoring effort this weekend, and Stade Francais' Mathieu Ugena piles on with a strong trucking effort.
