Video - Former All Black Liam Messam scores a freakish try for Toulon

Toulon belied their lowly league position by tearing Lyon apart, Filipo Nakosi crossing for a hat-trick of tries to help the hosts run out comfortable 40-7 winners.

Liam Messam, Josua Tuisova and Daniel Ikpefan also touched down for Toulon, who had lost seven of their previous 11 league outings but scored 28 unanswered points before the break at Stade Mayol.

Lyon put up more of a fight in the second half but have now lost three on the spin in all competitions following back-to-back defeats against Glasgow Warriors in the European Champions Cup.

The try of the game however belonged to Messam. The former All Black followed up a Francois Trinh-Duc penalty in the second minute of the game. The ball bounced off the crossbar and into his hands and the former All Black backrow, who scored.

Kini Naholo powers Hurricanes to upset win over Brumbies In Canberra

Hard to tell how quick this guy (Naholo) is, but lord he takes some stopping! Could he be the guy who takes Clarke and Telea out of AB left wing contention? and given how poor Reece has been in the AB jersey (sad, because I love his energy) could he take the right wing slot?

Well said Rob Penney. The leadership group have helped set the foundation. Codie Taylor is always a leader. Captain David Havili and some times captain on the field, Will Jordan have been incredible. There influence is huge.

Crusaders flex muscles in attritional win over Highlanders

You obviously have never watched Richie Mo’unga play. He was a magician at 10 for the Crusaders in there title run 2017-23. Great defence, tries, try set ups , goals. Richie Mo’unga was one of the great line breaking 10’s.

I do care actually. Players come from lots of different places to the Crusaders. It is a great place. Hence the amount of titles we have won. You are picking a pointless and diversionary argument.

Highlanders vs Crusaders: Jordan is Cullen-esque, another Test bolter

Well said regarding the 10 position at the Crusaders. Rivez Reihana seamlessly slotted in when he came on in Dunedin. Made goalkicking look easy.We know James O’Connor’s worth , that is not just because of his winning kick last week against the Blues.

Great article. In listing 10’s , Super and international of the past. Andrew Mehrtens was left out. He was the key driver in our first 3 titles ‘98, ‘99 and 2000. He was part of 2 other title winning teams, 2002 went through unbeaten.Mehrts was a great.

‘Got to make a move’: Blues skipper keeps it honest after latest defeat

The competition is actually pretty fierce at the moment.

Cane will be in Ireland soon.


Not Leinster, though. They'll drive him around rural Ireland in a mini bus with his wee runners up RWC medal.


He’ll teach the school kids how (NOT) to tackle. His total comedy tackle height. Great lad.


So much more than a shyte Richie McCaw.


Edit: profound apologies. I didn't get ‘canes’ meant hurricanes! I'm embarrassed.

Codie is a class act. Always gets stuck in.


The cards do follow him around though.


Could you go to war with him in a knockout game? He'd get you 10 PTS but maybe cost you 10 PTS.


Risk V reward.

The “plenty” was a reference to general ignorance of others around the sensitivity of nationality.


I'm Irish and a strong proponent of sharing the wealth and player base!!!

We’re fighting the same fight, boss.


I lived in the bay of plenty for a summer and a winter in 2017. Amongst the finest individuals I have ever encountered. Ever.
