Side-stepping Welsh rugby teen wows tens of thousands in stunning try

A perfect full-back would be light on their feet, have some gas to burn and the ability to kick. One young Welsh rugby player displayed all those attributes in a single play to set up a stunning score for his team-mate.

Llandeilo Youth are attracting attention on TikTok after the video of this spell-binding effort picked up 50,000 views in three days.

The try was scored by second-row Henri Jones against Carmarthen Quins Youth, but it's full-back Jack Davies who everyone was congratulating afterwards..

Davies kicked off the jaw-dropping try with a breathless assault on the Quins defensive line from his own 22. He began his run by jinking inside of a would-be tackler, before putting the gas on and blitzing through a gap with remarkable acceleration.

With one player standing in his way between him and the whitewash, he stuck ball to boot and rounded the player with ease. Just before he could build up another head of steam the opposing player was at his heels and tears him down to the deck just short of the line.

But, as he was bundled over, his reaction time is lightning fast, popping the ball into his team mate who charges over for the score.
