All Blacks winger Caleb Clarke showed off his American football skills with an outrageous one-handed pass during Bledisloe Cup training.
The overarm pass looks like it travelled about 50 metres to playmaker Beauden Barrett during a late training session at Eden Park ahead of Sunday’s clash against the Wallabies.

The 21-year-old made his All Blacks debut last weekend against Australia with a significant impact off the bench on the left wing.
NFL-style passes have been a regular appearance in professional rugby in recent months with New Zealand’s Jordie Barrett producing this outstanding effort for Taranaki in the Mitre 10 Cup.

Another similar but equally brilliant example came through Clarke’s former Blues teammate and Harlequins star Joe Marchant in the Premiership earlier this season.
