"It's not unlike a scene that could take place in Westeros. "Game of Thrones" actor Clive Mantle, who plays Lord Jon Umber, better known as The Greatjon, on the first season of the HBO show, had part of his ear bitten off on Sunday, the BBC reports.
Mantle, 55, was in a Travelodge hotel in Newcastle, England, when he was bitten. A spokesman for the actor's agent told the BBC that Mantle asked other guests to keep the noise down and then was pinned to the floor and attacked. The top part of his right ear was bitten off, but surgeons at the Royal Victoria Infirmary sewed it back on, the spokesman said."

They play rough over there,lol

That's what he gets for being the hooker in a scrum.

Funny you should say that but my daughter is doing her three month university work placement at Newcastle Falcons (just about to leave home to attend this afternoons game) and some of her descriptions about the injuries these guys get during a game are quite amazing.
