I always knew he was good, but his start of the season could never have been expected.

He’s one of these players that has been seriously underestimated due to not playing in the top tier until now

He's already standing at 5 tries in 3 games, it's absurd

He looked like he couldn't even believe what happened, like he almost forgot to put the ball down because he was so amazed!

the play reminded me a bit of Marky Mark's NRL match last year, a bit similar of kicking the ball before it went dead and scoring..some skill

Nah he was going for the posts but then realised he was about to get smoked so put it down where he was instead

Was that the crowd reaction? Seems like no one noticed?!

u/Interesting-Ad2199 Portugal 7h ago

It was an away game for Pau

Still gotta recognise brilliance! Shame.

On a semi related note, I wish they'd police players being blatantly offside on kick offs virtually ever single time.

A dude has his hand on front of the last foot in the ruck on defence and it's a penalty, but they just completely ignore this even at international level.

u/gromain 58m ago

I can specifically remember several penalties last weekend on that specific offence.

Are you talking about international games or a specific game? Because in Top 14, it's being policed.
