An incredible, frenzied try scored by Springbok superstar centre Lukhanyo Am has gone viral on TikTok.
The try was scored in the Pool B game between Italy and South Africa at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. The game finished a comfortable 45-3 victory to the eventual world champions, the Boks. However, a minute of pure rugby mayhem unfolded after 57 minutes.
The RugbyPass video is titled 'one of the wildest passages of play you'll ever see', and has picked up 1.2 million views in less than 24 hours on TikTok. It's the most viewed rugby video on the platform at this moment in time.

Possession changes four times in 60 seconds, but that's the tip of the iceberg in this clip. It starts off with a brilliant intercept from Italy's wing Michele Campagnaro, who flies down the right flank before producing a less-than-satisfactory kick into the Bok half.
South Africa's Damian De Allende collects, producing a nice spin offload into Duane Vermeulen who goes into contact. The ball makes it's way through the hands of Handre Pollard and Willie le Roux, before Am and le Roux combine expertly through a delightful offload and clever little kick from the latter.
A poor pass from Pieter-Steph du Toit sees Italy regain possession again and survive another dangerous Bok attack, the fitness shown by the players is truly remarkable.
Jayden Hayward collects and Italy go through the phases again - from swashbuckling offloads to scything line-breaks, it is the epitome of 'free-flowing rugby'.
Jake Polledri gifts South Africa's Am with an easy run-in after shanking a pass, to put the icing on the cake of an incredible minute of sporting theatre.
You can watch a clip of the try below.
The TikTok viewers were blown away by the video.
"That game was WILD," said one.
"This is what can happen when you get a good ref who lets you actually play the game ! That was awesome to watch!!" said another.
