Rugby scrum-half gasses entire team to score from own line

A scrum-half with blistering speed ran the length of the field for Bedford Blues to score a jaw-dropping try.

The Blues were taking on Jersey Reds last weekend in the English Championship. Despite a convincing 45-5 victory for Jersey at home, the try scored by Bedford has raked in a huge 70,000 views on Twitter.

Scrum-half Jake Garside watches his opposite number with a beady eye as the scrum progresses towards the Bedford whitewash in the final play of the game. As the Jersey man shapes up to ping the ball left, Garside knocks it out of his hands, gathers and puts the afterburners on.

It is a remarkable feat of speed that takes him from one end of the pitch to the other in 11 seconds, to cap off a marvelous try.

According to Bedford, that was Garside's seventh try of the season, which means he has drawn level with Dean Adamson as top try-scorer so far. Garside is dual registered with Bedford and Gallagher Premiership side Northampton Saints as part of a 'strategic partnership'.

Bedford are fourth in the Championship table despite defeat to league leaders Jersey, and will host 10th placed Ampthill at 3PM on Boxing Day.
