This is why there is nothing wrong with a simple touchdown.

Kosuke Hashino might just be the most famous Sevens rugby player in the world today. Or should that be infamous. Yesterday, while playing for Japan against Italy in the final of a Sevens event in Hong Kong, he had the most spectacular swan-dive finish fail we’ve ever seen.

Luckily for Kosuke, it was the final play of the game and with Japan comfortably in the lead, it was no big deal. Apart from the life time of slagging he is going to get of course.

That Chris Ashton has a lot to answer for.
