WATCH | Horror tackle leaves Brumbies star staggering

Drama unfolded on Friday in the Super Rugby Pacific clash between the Brumbies and the Queensland Reds when Corey Toole was left staggering on his feet following a high hit from lock Angus Blyth.

Toole, paying for the Brumbies, launched a high kick only to be hit late by Blyth.

Not only was Blyth's tackle late, but it was also high, with the lock receiving a yellow at first, which was then upgraded to a red.

Toole stood up soon after but, after staggering around, was told by the referee to sit down as medical staff ran onto the field.

The Brumbies won the match 52-24.
