"Today was a fluke”- Rhys Carré reacts to jaw-dropping moment

The Saracens player raced over to score his side’s first try of the contest after a brilliant break and showcased impressive pace to cross the whitewash. It was the sort of finish that will be on replay for the foreseeable.

It was perhaps the game-changing moment for Wales in the contest, as from nowhere the prop scored his third consecutive try in this year’s Six Nations.

It was a marvellous break, following receiving the ball off Tomos Williams. From 35 metres, he had Eddie James to his outside, but dummied and went by himself to easily breeze past Robert Baloucoune.

As metres grew shorter so the joyous smile was on Carré’s face as he touched down. Speaking on the memorable moment, the 28-year-old said:

It wasn’t too long ago that the prop was put to one side after falling out favour with both former Wales head coaches Wayne Pivac and Warren Gatland.

But it’s been a remarkable return to the international scene, and despite being on the pitch for only 44 minutes against Ireland it was clear that he left everything out there.

Speaking on the loose-head’s comeback, head coach Steve Tandy said: “All the plaudits should go to Rhys.

However, despite the remarkable performance, Wales fell to their 15th consecutive defeat in the championship, and are on track to claim their third wooden spoon.

“It’s a performance to be proud of, but at the end of the day, we still lost,” continued Carré who became the fifth prop to have scored in three successive Tests.
