French flair at its finest! While French rugby can be generously described as hit and miss, there is nothing quite like the flair the French can provide when they are in full flow.
Toulouse took on Pau today, hoping to cement their place at the Top 14 table. The visitors sit fourth from bottom, meaning a fairly routine victory was expected. They would ultimately hammer Pau 83-6, but it was their second try of the game that will grab all the headlines.
With 15 minutes on the clock, the home side would pull off one of the most outrageous team tries we have seen for some time. Cross field kicks, chips over the top, beautiful offloads, no look passes, this one had it all. Sit back and enjoy.

— La passe aveugle de Roro 👁🏉 (@forcatdubitume) May 4, 2019
It's difficult to pinpoint the best bit of skill in this passage of play, but the pass from Maxime Médard is fairly hard to top.
This result leaves Toulouse 12 points clear at the top of the Top 14 table, with second placed Clermont having played a game less. They will be heavy favourites once the playoffs come around, with two games currently left to play in the league.
