INSANE footballing skills add new dimension to rugby

BY Shaywaterworth  ·  Sunday Mar 10, 2019

South African sevens player Selvyn Davids was compared to footballing legend Diego Maradona for his spectacular kicking skills on show at Canada Sevens.

The 24-year-old chipped the ball over the Wales defence, made a cross field kick to himself and then produced a miraculous left foot nudge to his own teammate as the ball looked destined for the touchline.

Davids’s skill lead to South Africa’s third and final try of the game as they beat Wales 19-10 before going on to beat Chile and the USA to top Pool A.

The Springboks will face Argentina in the cup quarter final at 2.08pm GMT.
