VIDEO: Coles one-on-one with Barrett
WATCH as All Blacks hooker Dane Coles scored an epic try for the Hurricanes on Sunday in the opening round of Super Rugby Aotearoa.
It took twenty minutes for the Hurricanes to officially welcome Beauden Barrett in a Blues uniform when old teammate Coles went one-on-one with the fullback.
Swinging back to the edge of the line out where Coles was stationed, the Hurricanes got the All Black hooker free down the right-hand side.
On a collision course with Barrett trying to make a cover tackle, Coles took the opportunity gleefully to barge into the Blues fullback before scoring in the corner.
The try sparked a wild Canes mosh pit which kept Barrett in the mix to welcome him at his new team.
