VIDEO: There is no possible way that this could not be a try

One for 'What happened next?' on Question of Sport

Patrick McCarry

When your luck is out, it is out.

Auckland Blues are having another bad Super Rugby season and coach John Kirwan is feeling the head.

The Blues paid a trip to Highlanders’ home patch, in Dunedin, recently and were getting caned 17-0 when they finally fought back.

A delightful cross-field chip, and a three-on-zero overlap, meant a simple try was on the cards. However, fate intervened.

The Blues recovered their wits and eventually got on the scoreboard before losing 30-24. That non-try could have come in handy.
