Jesus, this Piutau lad isn’t bad is he?
Charles Piutau is fast becoming a legend at Ulster Rugby and he has only played two pre-season games.
The Kiwi wing/fullback tore it up for his new side last night and inspired them to a 29-19 win over Northampton Saints, in Belfast.
Piutau scored one try and set up another with a pure ridiculous offload that took two defenders out and gave Jacob Stockdale and easy score.
The running line, the burst, the speed, the goose-step, the offload. Mmmmmmmm.
Have a feeling that @CPiutau is going to be a fan favourite @UlsterRugbyhttps://t.co/kgbWCTgzZS

We have a feeling we could be writing about Piutau a lot over the next couple of seasons.

Naturally, given that Ulster have Andrew Trimble, Jared Payne, Tommy Bowe, Craig Gilroy, Louis Ludik, Piutau, Peter Nelson and Ireland U20 Stockdale as back three options, fans of the other Irish provinces are jealous as hell.

Every other province needed Piutau; Ulster've a glut of 3/4s. What's the point? https://t.co/71YCsYcQR6— Rory O’Mór (Curate's Egg) (@curates_egg) August 27, 2016
