French flanker Leo Banos pulled off the unthinkable for Pro D2 side Stade Montois when he took down a cross-field kick with his boot.
The trickery was produced in the Mont-de-Marsan (Montois) v Colomiers match last Thursday evening. The video starts out with South African fly-half Willie du Plessis launching a massive up-and-under towards the left flank.
It looks for the world like the ball is about to go out. However, like his namesake Leo Messi, Banos takes the ball down expertly, using the outside of the boot to create an angle to keep it in touch. Despite his foot touching the line, he had already kicked the ball. It is expertly crafted by the back-row.
