On Sunday, young La Rochelle hooker Pierre Bourgarit decided it was time he became a household name by scoring this unbelievable near length-of-field try against Toulon. Many of the best hookers now appear to possess enough speed to potentially slot in as a back, if pressed, and Bourgarit seems to be no exception. Looking more like Dane Coles for pace, Bourgarit at least fits that role of the modern position very well. Having spent some time with France U20s, perhaps a call to the national side will be forthcoming.
So good. Had to feature it! Did someone say running hookers? I give you Maliviwe Simanga, a bloke who plays in the second tier of our local university competition. It's a thing of beauty. I guess if he'd held of the contract signing until after this try he could have squeezed a little more pennies! To be fair to Nonu, he makes up a lot of ground on Bourgarit, his arms are too short to wrap around and drag him down. Great dummy, the slight heel kick to get away from Nonu's attempt was Rokocoko-esque too.
