Watch: Andrew Conway Commits Rugby's Cardinal Sin Against Connacht

How many times do we see this happen? Every time a player crosses the white line with the ball in their hands, we just assume it is going to be a try. Sometimes it doesn't quite turn out like that, however.

We saw Jacob Stockdale make a balls of a try scoring opportunity against Leinster in the Champions Cup quarter final a few weeks back, an error which ultimately had a big impact on the outcome of the game. That one was bad, Andrew Conway's effort today was even worse.

Munster took on Connacht in an inter-provincial Pro14 clash at Thomond Park this evening, with a win needed to try and secure top spot in their conference and an automatic semi-final spot. Trailing in the opening half, it looked like Andrew Conway would give his side the lead with an easy opportunity to score an intercept try.

However, he was far too casual. Conway sauntered into the end zone thinking he had all the time in the world, only for Scott Fitzgerald to get back and knock the ball out of his hands.

The biggest sin in rugby. Once you get across that line, make sure you get the ball down. We are not quite sure what Conway was at here, considering he did not have all that much space between himself and the Connacht defenders.

He definitely won't want to see this one again.
