Not a big deal for him to be honest, he isn't your typical kicker who's barely dealt with contact through their career.

If that hit wasn't preseason yer man would have been done for it.

Not every hit would have been as full on as the one he got. But plenty are pretty close, and without protection. Hits above are regular occurance, as players in Aussie football (not the same as rugby) need much more 360 degree awareness than in the NFL and are therefore much more vulnerable to being blind sided.
