Maddison Levi's try-saving tackle for the ages leaves rugby viewers in awe

This is the moment Australian Sevens player Maddison Levi proved why you should never give up chasing back on the rugby pitch.

The 20-year-old has already enjoyed a remarkable career at her tender age by playing professional Aussie Rules football and winning a Gold Medal with Australia Sevens at this year's Commonwealth Games. Now a clip of her somehow denying Madagascar what seemed a certain try during their Sevens World Cup match in Cape Town is doing the rounds, leaving many astounded.

The remarkable try-saving tackle on Madagascar's Veronique Rasoanekena came during Australia's opening match of the tournament - a 48-0 against Madagascar, who are playing in the tournament for the first time. A historic five-try haul from Faith Nathan set Australia on their way, but it was the tackle of Levi, who also crossed for a try herself, that kept the World Cup rookies off the scoresheet.
