Wasps star Jimmy Gopperth took the internet by storm for a fantastic bit of sportsmanship during their clash with Bristol Bears on Friday night.
When it would have been possible to keep quiet and let the match officials agonise over whether a try was scored or not, the New Zealander told referee Karl Dickson that Bristol had indeed grounded the ball to score a try and got things going again.
