Video: Rabah Slimani throws one of the worst passes we’ve ever seen on a rugby pitch

Feel free to make your own jokes about props and passes

Oh dear

When you think of French rugby, or at least of the stereotype of French rugby, you think of skills, flowing passing and every player from 1 to 15 having great ball handling ability.

In our hearts we all know that isn’t really true these days, if it ever was, and looking at this attempt at a pass by Stade Francais’ Rabah Slimani at the weekend, we’re convinced.

In the final minute of the match, trailing 9-12 to Lyon, Stade tried to manufature one last scoring move from their own half. Sadly for them, the ball ended up with the replacement prop, and his attempt to keep the move going was nothing short of shocking.

The reaction of the Stade sideline says it all.
