Mamuka Gorgodze finishes off outstanding Toulon team try in Ulster thrashing

Steffon Armitage scored a hat-trick as Toulon stormed into the European Champions Cup quarter finals with a 60-22 victory over Ulster at the weekend. This great team try, finished off by Mamuka Gorgodze, was one of the best of the round. 

The reigning European champions are the first side to reach the quarter finals following the eight try rout. The bonus point win came about through scores for Argentina’s Nicolas Sanchez, South Africa’s Bryan Habana, France’s Mathieu Bastareaud, Italy’s Martin Castrogiovanni, Englishman Armitage’s treble and this classic try by Georgian, Gorgodze.

Welsh fullback Leigh Halfpenny kicked 20 points for Toulon, on a day when the losing side actually grabbed a four-try bonus point, as Ulster scored well taken tries via Paddy Jackson, Mike McComish, Jared Payne and Lewis Stevenson.

Toulon now has a five point Pool 3 lead over Leicester, who themselves picked up a bonus point win as they beat Scarlets 40-23. The Tigers will need to win away at Ulster in the next round of play if they are to join Toulon in the last eight. 

The tryfest featured an impressive hat-trick for flanker Armitage, whose heroics made no impact on England coach Stuart Lancaster, who left him out of the England training squad for the Six Nations.

The stunning try below, featuring some superb hands in the build up, was voted as Try of the Week in the official EPC Poll of the top tries from round five.
