Beale, Rodda shine on Super Rugby return as Force smash Crusaders to keep finals hopes alive
As the Crusaders’ season went from bad to worse, Kurtley Beale and Izack Rodda made bright returns to Super Rugby to help the Force…
Playing on a muddy pitch in the National League 3 competition, Brixham’s Tom McLean dived over the line for what he thought was a potential match-winning try.
There was only one problem. He wasn’t over the try line at all and had been confused by the five-metre line.
McLean’s celebration quickly turned to shock as the Barnstaple defenders raced back and dived on top of him before he had a chance to make up for his unfortunate misjudgment.
Barnstaple won the scrappy match 6-0, so McLean’s try could have changed the outcome with a conversion.
McLean will never know if his try would have made the difference but at least he’s got a story and the video to show his grandchildren.
