The Blitzbokke might be lucky enough to call on speedster Seabelo Senatla from time to time, and when he plays he brings with him finishing skills that are almost second to none.
I say almost, because American Perry Baker really is in a league of his own. Over the weekend he helped the US Sevens team to a win on home soil in Las Vegas, but it was his solo effort against Fiji that has the rugby world going bonkers.
Seriously, you won’t see many better efforts than this one from the semi-final. One has to remember that those Fijians he is leaving in his wake aren’t exactly slow off the mark, either.
He might have legs like Morne Morkel, but he can turn on those after-burners.
How about a metre-by-metre counter:

That’ll do, Perry.
Here’s an overly musical montage of some of his career highlights before we part ways:
