Watch: Sensational Ratuva Tavuyara offload to put the 'Tongan Bear' away for a 20 metre try
By Online Editors
How's this for an offload?
Waikato prop Loni Uhila was the beneficiary of a stunning pass from team mate Ratuva Tavuyara in their side's match against Tasman on the weekend.
The game got off to a slow start last weekend between Tasman and Waikato, until the 8 minute mark.
Waikato stretched the Tasman defence from left to right and then back again, fast delivery enabled Tavuyara to find space down the right wing, casually stepping back inside to execute a jaw dropping no-look pass to Uhila.
The prop, nicknamed the 'Tongan Bear', then sprinted down the line to score.
The game was also notable too for the fact that Zac Guildford got his first try for the Mooloos since returning to provincial rugby.
Ultimately Waikato would go on to lose in a thrilling finish, 31-29.

Yes a double edged sword, as that is also what makes them so dangerous to the most organized defences.
If they can find the right balance and execute to where theyre not just turning and offloading the ball straight into the oppositions arms, and dealing better with the disadvantage the scrum is, they could push for playing for a spot in the final this year. It really exciting that the Landers may even push past that in the years to come too.
