I was hit in the eye at rugby training on wed night. there was no swelling or anything just really sore. anyway on friday night whilst blwoing my nose, my left eye suddenly ballooned and swelled up. how do i sort it out and is it ok to still play rugby with it like that. i can see out the eye.

Hi,
STOP PLAYING RUGBY UNTIL YOU GET IT CHECKED!
Same thing happened to me last year playing Basketball.
I took a hard hit to the face, went home and was blowing my nose and my eyelid ballooned up. I ended up at the emergency room and found out I cracked the thin bone near my eye.
You've most probably cracked a bone in your face. I would get to doctor ASAP, get an Xray done.
Worst case scenario you have to get surgery done on your facial bones. I would strongly suggest you don't play any Rugby until you get it checked, as you could make it worse!
Good luck, and take it easy.
