The 'impossible' mid-air rugby pass that's blowing everyone away on TikTok

You've seen jaw-dropping tries and immense tackles, but what about a truly inconceivable pass?

Gabin Villiere did just that on the weekend for Toulon. Fresh from a barn-storming Six Nations campaign, Villiere has continued to tear it up for the Top 14 side, producing a quite remarkable performance against Toulouse at the weekend.

Nevermind his phenomenal try or relentless jackaling, you will not see a more audacious pass than this. Under pressure, Villiere plucks the ball from the heavens and then throws all 16 stone of Anthony Jelonch to the deck, as if the flanker was a mere inconvenience.

Despite his heroic hand-off, Villiere is held aloft by three Toulouse players, his legs are dangling in the air with seemingly nowhere to go, all whilst approaching the touchline. Still with ball in hand, the winger pops it out to the scrum-half between his legs while in mid-air.

It is egg-shaped sorcery to savour. The three players are still carrying Villiere in to touch before they can realise the ball has somehow ended up in the hands of Baptiste Serin.

A truly magnificent performance from the Six Nations star was capped off with a win, Toulon bringing home the spoils against Toulouse, 19-15.
