Fabulous backwards overhead chippie by Lima Sopoaga…. temendous skills… wonderful stuff!

Patrick Osborne comes very close to the Canes line as a result!

Barrett toes ahead… and with his speed he runs clear, but the last toe forward goes skew… and Naholo picks up and hacks it out.

The Landers steal the ensuing Canes lineout, but the kick out directly!

grootblousmile on 27 May 2016 at 10:16 am

Canes breakdown penalty, very, very kickable on the Landers 22.

grootblousmile on 27 May 2016 at 10:17 am

Beauden Barrett slots it from in front on the 22.
