Here is a short clip from the Top 14 last weekend, the type of try you definitely don’t see very often, if at all./spanbr /br /It comes from Racing Metro’s impressive 43-18 win over newcomers La Rochelle, who after having kicked a penalty, were caught off guard at the restart as Francois Steyn took it quickly. Flying Fijian Sireli Bobo was wide awake and quick enough to chase the well placed kick and cross for a try that would have incensed the opposition.br /br /Steyn, who took a bit of stick for his performances for the Springboks in the Tri Nations, offers that something extra and while he can be error prone, he’s shown that he’s not afraid to back his own ability.br /br /He has also recently stated that one of the things he likes about the Top 14 is that he’s allowed to try things, which obviously suits of player of his natural ability.br /br /Another star, Juan Martin Hernandez, made his first start for the club but unfortunately went off before half time after he was hit hard in two big tackles. He will be out of action for two weeks with a thigh injury.br /br /Questions could be asked of the legality of this try, considering that Bobo was perhaps a foot or so ahead of the moment Steyn made contact with the ball. It was still a neat piece of play by the two of them though and I thought it would be interested to share.br /br /Have a good weekend, watch as much as you can, and get in touch as soon as you see something you think should be shown here next week. Cheers.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kUPF6jaaeKU?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kUPF6jaaeKU?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerdiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-6631076701388546064?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=tRToyHw5TYc:YsZUmhK7hx0:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/tRToyHw5TYc" height="1" width="1"/ More...
