Woodward’s heroics

Former Hurricane Jason Woodward started and finished one of the best tries of the weekend, chipping out of his 22, with Tom Varndell winning the race to the ball and returning it inside for the fullback to race away.

Higuain’s classy finish

Gonzalo Higuain’s brace helped Juventus sweep Bologna aside 3-0 and set a new all-time record of 26 consecutive Serie A home wins.

Welsh’s cheeky chip

While it didn’t result in a try, 124kg prop Jon Welsh pulled off a cheeky chip and chase against Bath that was well worth a watch. Not bad from the big fella.
