Lovely Faf de Klerk blind pass denied by TMO after tight referral in Premiership

Springboks star Faf de Klerk was denied a moment of brilliance for Sales Sharks on Friday night during a Premiership clash against Bath at the AJ Bell Stadium.

The World Cup-winner produced a lovely reverse pass to number eight Daniel du Preez who charged through a gap to score under the posts, however after a TMO referral the assist from de Klerk was deemed to have gone forward.

Sale did eventually score a try at the death but if this pass from the South African scrum half had gone backwards the result could have been much different.

In the end Bath came away with a 22-27 win and full match highlights including the TMO referral of de Klerk’s pass are available below:
