A Newcastle rugby star has revealed he has lost a testicle following a freak training ground incident.

Winger Jack Johnson revealed on Twitter that he was forced to have surgery to remove it after it 'exploded'.

On Twitter, the 23-year-old wrote: "What a load of B******S

"Not my greatest Thursday ever, with the old testicle exploding at training.

"Had it removed last night. Will be back soon just a little bit lighter. And as the saying goes RL wins again. P.S does the swelling stay asking for a friend."

5 worst rugby injuries: From O’Driscoll to Warburton – WARNING: Graphic images

From Sam Warburton to Brian O'Driscoll, rugby has seen its fair share of terrible injuries.

WARNING: Graphic images

Rugby has long been one of the most brutal sports around but in the modern world of camera phones and social media, never before have the scars of war been shared so openly with the public.

Here are some of the worst rugby injuries:

#1. Brian O'Driscoll

Brian O'Driscoll

This was the shocking souvenir Brian O'Driscoll was left with when he collided head-on with Scott Williams during the 2014 Ireland v Wales Six Nations’ match in Dublin.

#2. Jack Willis

ITV refused to show replays of the sickening knee injury suffered by try scorer Willis during England’s Six Nations win over Italy at Twickenham back in February.

#3. Sam Warburton

Warburton has also been the victim of huge blows to the face, with this one against Leinster a particular shiner. The flanker was taken off after just 13 minutes at the Arms Park and required stitches.

#4. Richard Hibbard

The Wales hooker's modelling career came to a sad end in February when this happened to him during a match for Gloucester. On Twitter, he accused his opponent of trying to steal his nose!
