I’M SO PLEASED that the concept of reaction videos didn’t exist when I was watching sport growing up.
Australia staged a sensational comeback to defeat South Africa in the Rugby Championship in Saturday, with Tevita Kuridrani grazing the line to score the winning try with the last play of the game.
Most neutrals were up out of their chairs watching the final minutes, so you could only imagine how Australian fans were feeling in the closing moments, as they waited on the TMO to tell them whether they were going to win or lose.
Well imagine no more, because the Australian Rugby Union were sent in this footage of a die hard Aussie kid going through all the emotions on Saturday, and kindly shared it with the world.
The young man – in his pyjamas because the parents obviously let him stay up a little bit later for the match, we’ve all been there – went through a lifetime of emotion in the five minutes, and once it was over, things got a little bit too much for him.
While some of these videos can often look fake, this one looks the real deal. Either that or we have just found the world’s greatest child actor.
There’s not a chance this kid got to sleep afterwards.
Is he Welsh?
@Trevor Beacom: nope born in England to two Irish parents
Looking forward to John Cooney coming to Ulster. He could surprise a few people if he stays fit and if he gets game time. Paul Marshall really always has been an impact player. It will be interesting to see if he can gel with PJ and how well he can develop.
