The classic 'Wall' set piece try by Sale Sharks

The Wall try

This is a look at a fantastic set piece 'Wall' try, as seen in days gone by, scored here by the Sale Sharks vs Ospreys in the Heineken Cup.

Argentinian Fernandez Lobbe finishes it off, but the deception and trickery is set up by the halfback and the forwards. These used to be practiced over and over on the training ground and when they come off, magic.

These days you don't see it often though, mainly due to a law change.

It's unfortunate as it used to be one of the more exciting and interesting - if not amusing - aspects of the game. It would be great to bring it back at some stage.
