In a play that is sure to draw some scrutiny, Christian Lealiifano made clever use of the loophole in Super Rugby’s review process to avoid his try being overturned.

Lealiifano scored a great try but it appeared to have come from a forward pass from James Dargaville, and may well have been overturned had things gotten to that stage.

However to prevent this he took a quick drop-goal conversion before the TMO had a chance to review it, and the game moved on with the try in the books.

The Brumbies went on to win the match 30-22.
