New Zealand vs Great Britain: Freakish Roger Tuivasa-Sheck offload sets up Jamayne Isaako image

As he so often does, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck dazzled for New Zealand with a stunning show of skill in their Test against Great Britain.

The game could've been described as stale to say the least up until this point, with both sides failing to retain possession and build pressure.

But 'Roger the Dodger' took matters into his own hands shortly after half-time.

The Warriors superstar helped set up his side's first try of the game in the 48th minute with one of the greatest flick pass offloads you will witness.

It was all Tuivasa-Sheck, when he recieved the ball first play out of the ruck, before skipping across the Great Britain defensive line to expose a gap.

A beautiful show-and-go saw the star fullback break through the line, but he still had to beat Great Britain fullback Jonny Lomax.

Lomax did an excellent job shutting Tuivasa-Sheck down, but with Isaako trailing down the right wing, the Kiwi freak pulled off the impossible and threw the no-look flickpass that landed perfectly on Isaako's chest.


It was a remarkable show of Tuivasa's freakish talents infront of a frustrated Eden Park crowd, after the game's slow start.
