Stade Français and Fiji flyer Peniasi Dakwaka scored the greatest solo try I've ever seen, and that's no exaggeration.
The winger set social media on fire with his outrageous score in the Top 14 Racing 92, starting from behind his own tryline.
Using the momentum of their running backs, they scooped up the ball and brought it to their own try line, where they immediately began a counterattack.
He sped past the first attempted tackle, looked up and delivered a deftly placed kick from above, narrowly missing the player being treated. Just like Lionel Messi did with Inter Miami recently.
Lionel Messi has invented a sinister new skill: raping injured players on deck.
Dakwaka picked up the ball with the softest of touches and guided the ball with his left hand to his right before mercilessly dodging the next Racing 92 defender and sprinting away to end the incredible score. His kicker.

Reactions as dawaka becomes popular
Several videos of the try have been circulating on social media and fans are in complete awe of his talent.
“Try this year! ! And next year too! ” one comment read on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Ryan Lowe said: “Like Messi, he chipped the injured.''
Another person joked: “Messi: Chips is an injured player. Peniasi Dakwaka: Wait for my beer!”
“This could be the best individual try of all time! So big! Unbelievable…” added @Rugbyinsideline.

Dakwaka's Stade Français teammate Brad Weber also weighed in on social media.
The former All Blacks and Chiefs scrum-half played in the game and scored a decent blinder, but he never saw a better solo try than his Stade Français team-mate.
“I've seen quite a few tries in my time, but I've never seen a try from a better player. It's really fun to watch Flash do this live. “He makes fast people look like they're not fast,” Weber wrote.
Weber was on the pitch to score, but he reflected: “When Flash picked this up, @ZackHenry1 was yelling, 'Brad, come with me!' So I tried, and I really didn't even get halfway there.”
