AT THE VERY highest level, which is where we are with the Rugby World Cup, matches are made up of hundreds if not thousands of actions and interventions that can swing the flow of a game. (NOTE. There are gifs ahead, so you may feel the need to connect to Wifi)
Every Monday during England 2015 we’ll pick out some of our favourite flashes of skill, inspiration and straight-up boshfulness that made us ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over the last seven days.
Iain Henderson goes full Stephen Ferris
Edoardo Gori is the unfortunate man in the Will Genia role.
Smashing Savea?
Think again.
A #PropTry of the highest order
Soane Tonga’uiha got his name on the scoreboard thanks to Telusa Veainu’s brilliant offload from the verge of touch.
Overpowering Furno
Where would we be without Peter O’Mahony? Quite possibly lamenting a draw with Italy (if not worse).
Yamadaaaaaaa!
Add Akhito Yamada to our growing list of favourite Japanese players after he shrugged off an Alesana Tuilagi hit and leapt directly for the try-line.
The old one-two knockout
Bernard Foley and Kurtley Beale produced the try that extinguished most of England’s hope.
