Smooth

Sonny Bill Williams and the New Zealand Sevens squad grabbed the headlines after their victory in the Wellington Sevens earlier today, but this piece of skill from Scotland’s Joe Nayacavou might have outdone anything the Kiwis produced.

Williams will continue to hold the offload crown as long as he keeps featuring in the highlight reels himself, but this effort from Fiji-born Nayacavou is more than worthy of the New Zealand star, particularly given its importance in the game.

Scotland trailed Japan 26-19 in the dying seconds of their Bowl semi-final only for Nayacavou to somehow work the ball inside to Nick McLennan to send the match to extra-time, where Nayacavou went on to score the winning try.

Unfortunately the Scots were then beaten 19-7 by Samoa int he Bowl final.
