Talk about a football style try…
Takuya Yamasawa made use of his background in football for this try assist on the weekend. However awful sweeping up from the Yamaha back three. Goromaru continues his incredibly unimpressive post-RWC 2015 form. His error under the high ball cost the second try in this match too. pic.twitter.com/znMMhTMnm3
