Fifita try : Sun May 12, 2019 4:03 pm  

Just seen the Fifita try on Trinity TV.

Throws a dummy to make a gap, chips between two, tackles the fullback and strips the ball in one move.... Scores the try.
The guy is a phenomenon.

I guess the decision hinged on whether the ball carrying arm touched the ground before Dave stripped the ball.

All in one movement is what I saw, but what an effort of both brain and strength

The guy let’s go of the ball as soon as Fifita puts hands on him. Fifita takes the ball and grounds it. Try all day long. Final answer.

How many prop forwards would try that kind of crazy stuff?! He's radio rental - and we love him for it!

I'm afraid I'd probably be a bit butter fingered knowing big dave was steaming on to that ball.
Its difficult to swivel only 2 eyes in 4 directions at once

We film from the flats so doubt there's a decent angle for it. Even the one on the gantry would have missed it.
