Video: Bask in the glory of Jamie Heaslip’s potentially Six Nations winning tackle

Wonderful, just wonderful

Sean Nolan

We’ll never get tired of watching this

As Ireland were looking to bank a useful, and table topping, 30-point win over Scotland our points difference lead looked like it was about to be slashed by the dangerous Stuart Hogg.

With just minutes left Hogg was on the end of a sweeping Scotland move and after evading two tacklers, the Scot dived for the line.

Then, out of nowhere, Jamie Heaslip grabbed him and not only managed to grab Hogg, but knocked the ball free too, just a fraction of a second before it was touched down.

With every point precious, this could the tackle that wins the title for us.

We think Gordon D’Arcy said it best.
