WATCH: Just try not to fall in love with Connacht after this sensational Champions Cup try

Connacht... Je t'aime

Patrick McCarry

It started deep inside the Connacht half with an attacking Toulouse lineout.

Ultan Dillane stole that, no bother.

Caolin Blade was quick to pounce and then the fun really started.

Bundee Aki and Craig Ronaldson traded passes before the Kiwi centre turned on the afterburners and left a heap of Frenchmen in his striding wake.

There was a quick switch pass and Ronaldson soon had his mitts on the ball. He came so, so close to a score of his own but he was pawed to the turf.

Bundee Aki break

Carty found Tiernan O’Halloran, who had busted a gut to get involved.

The fullback knew Niyi Adeolokun was on his shoulder and presented him with the simplest Champions Cup try he will ever score. The joys of being a winger.

Rugby fans stood and saluted… and tweeted the wonder-try.

Here it is in all its glory.

Magnifique!
