Amazing Vakatawa gaffe costs Racing 92 crucial try 

Virimi Vakatawa of Racing 92 

Racing 92 powerhouse Virimi Vakatawa was left embarrassed and annoyed with himself after an amazing in-goal blunder cost his side a much-needed try in Sunday’s 29-23 home loss to Toulon in Paris.

Vakatawa was set up for a try by a brilliant Teddy Thomas offload but was too casual, failing to ground the ball as Toulon winger Gabin Villiere snuck up behind him. The ball was dislodged in the tackle and bounced over the dead-ball line.
