There are big hand-offs.. and then there’s Ruan Pienaar getting fended into a different year

WE HAVE ALREADY recapped how depressing last weekend was for the provinces but there was one moment of surging power that stood out from Dragons v Ulster too.

As the visitors threatened a comeback against the Newport side, wing Hallam Amos burst down the touchline and slammed Ulster scrum-half Ruan Pienaar to the ground before offloading for Carl Meyer to seal the game.

You won’t see a better hand-off than this bit of strength.

There were some positives for Ulster, mainly young wing Rory Scholes’ slashing break in the build-up to Craig Gilroy’s opening try (first score in the clip).

Irish teams weren’t always on the receiving end of big plays last weekend though. Here is Rodney Ah You flying out of the line like a human torpedo and levelling a Cardiff Blues attacker.
