Wales winger George North embodied rugby spirit as despite pulling his hamstring he hobbled on to make sure he tackled the South Africa winger.

SOCIAL REACTION:
From someone that has pulled their hamstring in the past, for @George_North to keep running and make sure the catcher couldn’t make anything of that is fricking awesome #Hulk #WALvSAF 40 minutes left #BigShift #RWC2019

Absolutely gutted for George North. A player that makes your heart stop whenever he has the ball. #RSAvWAL

Huge respect for George North… Ham-string gone & tries to carry on… Rugby is a game where the players pretend to be fit for 80 minutes, unlike ⚽️! The pride of the jersey. 🏴 #RugbyWorldCup
