Wales star Christ Tshiunza leaves three men on the deck to score brilliant try after 'best bit of skill you'll see all year'

Wales star Christ Tshiunza rampaged through three tacklers to score a try for Exeter Chiefs against Harlequins on Sunday.

The youngster found himself on the wing at Sandy Park and cut through the Quins' defence like a knife through butter.

The home side were running riot against their opponents and a bit of skill in the build-up to Tshiunza's score from Olly Woodburn had the BT Sport commentators purring. Tshiunza, playing at No. 7, was fed by his team-mate Woodburn, who performed an outrageous pick-up to get the move going in the first place.

"Tshiunza, galloping away... oh Tshiunza's gone through!" said Nick Mullins behind the mic. "Goodness me, three Harlequins defenders look at each other. We all look at a young man called Christ Tshiunza on the rampage."

Co-commentator Ben Kay recognised the role of fly-half Harvey Skinner and Woodburn in the initial stages. "What a score, all created by that physicality in defence... by your No. 10 making a dominant hit that dislodges the ball. In he comes, put pressure on the catch and then how about this for the pick-up?

"How does he do that? That is phenomenal. I don't think you'll see a better bit of skill in the Premiership this year. And then for a finish, three men marking him... I won't even need to use my physicality, I'll just burn them off and use a bit of footwork. That is a brilliant score from a young man."
