England rugby star Jack Nowell scores a jaw-dropping try, leaving fans and commentators in awe during the Investec Champions Cup match.
La Rochelle: You won’t believe what just happened! Jack Nowell, the La Rochelle winger, pulled off an insane Superman-style try against the Bristol Bears. It was during the Investec Champions Cup, and the atmosphere was electric at Stade Marcel-Deflandre.
Even though La Rochelle dominated the game, winning 35-7, it was Nowell’s try that everyone is buzzing about. It all went down when the game was still scoreless after 16 minutes. Kiwi fly-half Ihaia West launched a cross-field kick, and Nowell made a jaw-dropping move. He dived, caught the ball, and grounded it while still in the air. Talk about skill!
The crowd went wild, but the referee had to check with the TMO first because he thought Nowell might have dropped it. When the try was confirmed, the cheers were deafening, even though Nowell looked a bit shaken up from the landing.
Commentators were blown away, with one saying, “Sometimes rugby players do things that just defy logic.” And the online reaction was just as wild. Rob Vickerman tweeted about Nowell going viral, while former international Andy Goode exclaimed, “That’s absolute filth!”
La Rochelle kept the momentum going, with Tolu Latu scoring next. The Bears managed a try from Jack Bates just before half-time, but La Rochelle really took control in the second half. They scored three more tries, and West converted them all, leading to a near-perfect win.
With this victory, La Rochelle sits at the top of pool two with nine points, while the Bears are struggling at the bottom with none. The next round of European fixtures is set for January, and fans can’t wait to see what happens next!
