This Fijian offload answers the question of what it would look like if an octopus played rugby

And Leone Nakarawa is a second row!

FIJI MAY NEVER be a force in the 15-man game (that cracking upset of Wales in 2007 aside) but we should still revel in their sensational skills and in particular, the spectacular flair that allows them to run wild with the ball in hand.

They played the US Eagles in France last week, and although they only squeaked home 20-14, they still scored this sublime try.

Leone Nakarawa shows the dexterity of an octopus to find centre Niki Goneva in the build-up.

A second row should not be able to offload like that, it just isn’t fair. Also, that aforementioned game against Wales really was one of the best ever World Cup games.

Plus, it featured the massively underrated Vilimoni Delasau, who was almost as devastating as Rupeni Caucaunibuca.

Still don’t believe me? This was against Wasps in 2007. From a standing start!
