In case you missed it, this video has gone viral in the last few days after it was shared on instagram. It features a bit of skill that we have probably all dreamed about doing at some point in our lives, but rarely has it even been executed so well. On the last play of the game. Alan Knuckey of Charlton Park RFC decided to give it a go. As he described it, he looked to the sideline and asked a mate if he should try the back heel. His mate dared him to do it. He's tried it for 15 years but never got it right.

While questions have been asked about the standard of play and competitiveness of this particular match, we can all agree that it was very well done and funny to see. To date the video has over 2 million views on facebook alone, so there's that. Click here to view the full post   More...
