6 memorable rugby moments

SPONSORED POST

The Rugby World 2015 is well under way with an exciting start – England had a great win against Fiji followed by Ireland’s great defeat against Canada.

But the game of the tournament so far has to be Japan beating South Africa by 34-32 – possibly the biggest shock in Rugby World Cup history. Even the Irish fans watching the game in Cardiff couldn’t help going nuts.

There have been many memorable rugby moments through the years and around the world at various levels – here are some of our favourites.

Warriors hooker Nathan Friend passes the ball while doing a back flip to set up an amazing try.

This try from Sam Tomkins, who manages to score while also being unconscious.

Unbelievably fast Oakham Under-15 centre Tyrese Johnson-Fisher scores four tries.

This amazing try from Australian rugby league player Ben Barba.

It’s not just the professionals that create memorable rugby moments – this member of the crowd won £250,000 after hitting the cross bar (while bare-footed).

Apart from some truly memorable moments, rugby also has a unique culture that gives a sense of belonging you can’t get elsewhere. It’s a culture that encourages you to stand out as an individual whilst bonding as part of a team. Whoever you are, whatever you’re motivations and desires – rugby is for someone like you.
