Comments

Former Springbok wizard Gio Aplon has been playing in France for the last few seasons and despite now being 33 years old, he is showing no signs of slowing down. He scored this stunning try against Toulouse at the weekend, one of the few Grenoble highlights as they lost 53-14.

Aplon got the ball deep in his half then glided through defenders in trademark fashion, reminding fans what Super Rugby has been missing out on since he left in 2014.

Toulouse will face Racing 92 in the quarter final playoffs this coming weekend.

    Brilliant. Always wondered we he didn't feature in our Sevens setup. Feels like that kind of fast, open play is tailor made for him.

    Nice one, I wondered what had happened to him. As a fellow small fella, he was a player I always admired. Still think his cracker against the Chiefs a few years back was his best individual effort.
