Andy Muirhead’s play surprised everyone, especially his opponents, and in the end the goal arrived
Video: stop following, dribbling and finally scoring. He is a footballer? No, a rugby player
It seemed like an action more similar to football than rugby: Lolesio’s kick-pass was a little too short, Andy Muirhead realized he couldn’t pick up the ball and decided to stop it “following”, like a footballer. The move sends Cameron Millar out of revs and he is clearly skipped by Muirhead, who still moves the oval forward with his foot, then collects it and scores.

A very particular goal, but fundamental, because it brought the Brumbies to 29-16 and effectively closed the Super Rugby quarter-final match. The Australians advanced to the round by beating the Highlanders with a final score of 32-16, reaching the semi-finals against the Blues.
In the end, with a very particular play, Muirhead brought home the try. And the Brumbies the game. For the Australians, in addition to Muirhead (a brace), Pollard also scored with two other tries, with 3 conversions and 2 free kicks by Lolesio. Nareki scored for the Highlanders with the New Zealanders’ only try, with a conversion and 3 penalties from Millar.
