You really don’t want to try and run over Isaia Tuifua, as you will lose.
There was an ITM Cup match between Taranaki and Bay of Plenty at the weekend and it was a handy enough 21-3 win for Taranaki in fairly soggy conditions.
Bay of Plenty centre Nick Evemy tried to run over his opposite number but Tuifua lined him up and stopped Evemy like he had just ran into a brick wall.
What makes it even better is that the ref called it back to look to see if it was legal and asked the TMO for help. That meant the entire crowd got to see the hit in all its gory details three or four times, leading to huge cheers and big congratulations for Tuifua from his team-mates.
