A very cunning play in the World Cup has become one of rugby's most-viewed videos in the last 24 hours.
The incident occurred during Argentina v Ireland in the 2007 World Cup, where World Rugby hall-of-famer Agustin Pichot led his Los Pumas side to a huge 15-30 victory over a star-studded side featuring the likes of Paul O'Connell and Brian O'Driscoll.
The moment in question came in the 77th minute, with the game all but won for Argentina. A ruck formed on the halfway line with replacement lock Malcolm Kelly attempting a jackal. His efforts were unsuccessful but he got one over Los Pumas skipper Pichot.
Buried among a bundle of players, as Pichot attempted to ping the ball out, Kelly grabbed the leg of Patricio Albacete and used it to knock the ball out of the Argentine's hands. It worked an absolute treat, as the referee completely missed it. Pichot, who was obviously aware, was not happy.
Despite his appeals to the officials, it went unpunished.
