Ah Super Rugby, you never fail to amaze.

Canterbury Crusaders rebounded from their loss to Hurricanes last weekend by opening up an aisle of whoop-ass cans on Queensland Reds. With the Super Rugby clash, at Ami Stadium, still relatively tight, Crusaders lock Sam Whitelock - one of the four rugby-playing Whitelock brothers - scored a try for the ages. He burst through two tackles, 60 metres from his own line and, well, the clip [below] will tell you the rest. Whitelock tips the scales at just over 18-stone and is 6-foot-8. Serious gas. Serious try.
