Now THIS is how you lift a player to claim a restart in rugby. Awesome.
We have seen South African big guys do this before, such as Tendai ‘The Beast’ Mtawarira but this effort from Cheetah Trevor Nyakane is almost as good.
In a Super 15 game against the Waratahs, which the Cheetahs went on to win 27-26, Nyakane was on lifting duties for second row Francois Uys. He lost control a bit as the ball came down but displayed incredible strength to keep hold of, and safely return to earth, his team-mate.
Impressive stuff, eh?
