Just when you’re thinking ‘Ah Conrad Smith can’t go on forever’, this tyrant comes along

The Steinie Awards are ongoing in the City of Sails (Auckland) but we felt pressed into reporting action when tweets broke of Malakai Fekitoa’s try of the year accolade.

This stunning score arrived in the Super Rugby clash between the 22-year-old’s Highlanders and the Sharks earlier this season. The video below also includes a clip of Fekitoa, who made his All Blacks debut in June, lining up Conrad Smith for a gigantic hit. Enjoy.

The award comes after an online vote from viewers of Sky Sport NZ.
