How do you stop Manu Leiataua? You don’t.
Everytime a forward of any description scores a rugby try an angel gets its wings.
That’s what our old rugby coach used to say to us and we don’t think we have any reason to disbelieve him.
So we can only imagine how many angels are now floating around the ether after this sensational 50metre solo try from Aurillac’s Manu Leiataua.
The hooker was playing for his side in the French PRO D2 against Perpignan on Saturday, when he got on the end of a flowing move across the pitch.
Normally you would associate burning pace with a full-back or winger, but the 231lb six-foot monster turns on the afterburners to streak past some despairing challenges and bulldoze his way to the line.
We especially fell sorry for the last line of defence who fail miserably to stop the New Zealander helping his side to a 52-14 win
