Don’t say we didn’t warn you; this is rather gruesome.

France rugby star Alexandre Dumoulin was only able to complete 10 minutes of Racing 92’s Champions Cup quarter-final victory against three-time defending European champions Toulon over the weekend after a boot to the face sliced his nose wide open.

The Parisians were able to stop their French rivals from pursuing a fourth straight European crown after a hard-fought game, which finished 19-16.

The centre posted a picture on Instagram afterwards showing the full extent of the terrible gash to his face.

Be warned, this is not for the faint of heart.
