South African winger Duhan van der Merwe lit up Murrayfield with this breathtaking try for Scotland against Six Nations title-holders Ireland.
Trailing 17-0 before half time on Sunday, the Scots worked the ball wide, where Van der Merwe took flight in a stunning finish.
Leaping for the corner, the towering speedster contorted his body mid-air to dot the ball down before being forced into touch.
The spectacular score gave Gregor Townsend’s charges hope before going down 32-18 to the reigning champions.
