VIDEO: Folau’s breathtaking try against the All Blacks

Israel Folau has proven critics wrong, coming from rugby league to union, and making the national side in the process.

Despite the series loss, his tries against the British and Irish Lions were testament to the talent and attacking ability of the big winger, and he once again showed his deadly nature against the All Blacks in the second round of the 2013 Rugby Championship.

Folau managed to pick up an intercept pass of a long skip pass by All Blacks centre Ma’a Nonu.

Folau used his pace and unpredictable sidestep to evade the tackle of Israel Dagg – one of the best defenders in the business – and speed away  60m to score under the posts for a memorable try.

The try was a moment of hope for the Wallabies, but the Australians went on to lose the game 27-16, meaning that the Bledisloe Cup stays in New Zealand for another year.
