Watch: Spanish rugby's top tier delivers breathless finale
By Peteso Cannon
We're not fully sure what's going on half the time in the below clip and there are definitely more than a few questionable refereeing decisions.
What we do know is that it looks immensely entertaining, unpredictable and if the commentary team are fluent in English, we need to sign them up for the Six Nations.
The game took place between Sanitas Alcobendas Rugby and SilverStorm El Salvador at the weekend, two of Spanish rugby's heavyweights, Silverstorm coming out victorious by 32 points to 28.
The match was played in Pepe Rojo field and is estimated to have had a crowd of roughly 2,000 spectators, so there are some encouraging signs emerging from Spanish rugby's domestic competition.
The game also ends with a contentious knock-on that looks suspiciously intentional?

I still see nothing in Sotutus play that hes changed his upright running style that failed so many times against decent international defences like the french. Other than that… Iose? Well you have covered his limitations well. If Sititi had been playing the the season… Jacobson? Grace?…Neither shout pick me. So Ardie it is.
Go to commentsThere isn’t one element you mentioned there that every top class or successful team gets up to. The great All blacks sides used to play on the ‘fringes or edge’ but it was essentially saying they were doing something illegal or borderline to gain dominance. The fine margins at the top are minute between the top sides. La Rochelle, the crusaders, Saracens, Toulon etc etc…..have all been accused. Get over it, the comment comes across as salty and naive. Northampton as well as they played to get back into the match were thoroughly beaten and controlled for 60 minutes and Leinster have only themselves to blame for kicking it away and hence losing control of the match and being nearly the architects of their own downfall.
