Edinburgh Prop WP Nel scores great 40m try against Leinster

19 stones on the hoof!! I wouldnae like to see this laddie's meat bill.

Pretzel, if you read this; please stop commenting on every single video post.
That is all...

Still don't understand why they don't move to another stadium. It's never full and must be depressing for the players to go out to a stadium not even 1/8th of capacity.

Prop run is excellent... just don't overlook that a back just got dummied by a prop, though. Looks like someone was on the hook for pints after the match!

They continue to play in the "library" because it is owned by the SRU so that's one less thing they have to pay for. If they played at another stadium they would have to pay for rent, which the SRU can't afford.

Great try! I still think Gethin Jenkins' try against Namibia(?) in the RWC where he threw a couple of dummies and beat 4-5 players was the best!!

Epic stuff. Can we post links here? Cos 'I like Big Props and I Cannot Lie'

MisterDavid I salute you for that song! hahaha

As always great to watch a big prop in full flight.
CJ van der Linde scored a couple of bulldozing beauties from about 40 m and halfway out in back to back games for the cheetas some years ago. Any chance there is some footage on this? Didn't find any after a quick search.

I actually made it to Murrayfield to see this game, it was reasonable enough but Edinburgh offered nothing really other than the try. A few observations:
1. Though the vast vast majority of the stadium was empty, the proximity to the action and the way the crowd can stand around 3/4 sides of the pitch changes the feel of the game. As a result the crowd is more partisan than an international match - almost like a .....(whisper) football match.
2. Rob Kearney is class. Most impressive Leinster player for me. He must have loved the Edinburgh tactic of kicking the ball to him at every attacking oppertunity. Lions certainty.
3. Tim McVisser. Hmmm.... not convinced. He is a big powerful unit but lacks in certain aspects of his game: defensive positioning could be improved and needs to improve his decision making with ball in hand. His opposite man (Fion Carr?) never looked troubled by him.
4. Leo Cullen. Even uglier in the flesh.

Great dummy from a prop, nuff said!

He had to be subbed off 2 minutes after this try. He got a HUGE round of applause - and hopefully plenty of stick in the changing room afterwards. Great Try !!

Great run! I love how he had basically a two step run-up!
Leinster No 20 should hang his head in shame. Even with a huge overlap outside him, still should have taken the prop out.
Also, props to the Leinster 9 who didn't shy away from the tackle, even though it was unlikely to stop the try.

"With speed to burn." Lovely :)

What i love is that this will definitely be attempted by every front row in the UK in every T+P session for the next age...and give a lot of coaches a lot of headaches...

I agree with granite - you have to defend in-to-out; poor show no.20.

Question: if I were the 9 I would have gone in higher to try and get to the ball aka Gregan did way-back-when... You aren't gonna stop a big man that close to the line. What do other peeps think?

Best prop try in Scottish history, well done lad!

This is a brilliant try, what a run! I would say as good as Gethin Jenkins for wales vs namibia in the 2011 World Cup.

brutal cross cover by the lock/back row, couldn't catch a prop?
