"That is a massive call" π±
A late penalty try seals a dramatic win for Racing 92 against Scarlets...#ChampionsCup pic.twitter.com/ncEdF2qLe8— Watch #ShoulderToShoulder on BT Sport (@btsportrugby) October 13, 2018
Definiton of a snatch & grab victory from last season's finalists in West Wales. With 76 minutes on the clock, a lineout drive from 5 metres out led to a penalty try as Gareth Davies was pinged for bringing down the maul. Controversial decision from referee Matthew Carley but the French side deserved victory for braving the harsh weather conditions and staying competitive when their backs were against the wall.
2) Freddie Burns game winning dropped ball

The only thing Burns had left to do was ground the ball and put Bath on their way to victory but sometimes in sport it doesn't always plan out the way it should. Harsh lessons learnt at the Rec.
3) The footwork of Toulouse back Cheslin Kolbe
The feet on Cheslin Kolbe!

Impressive side stepping from the Springbok winger. Kolbe made a mockery of the Bath defenders and showed just how dangerous he can be in open space.
4) Edinburgh valiant performance at the Altrad
"Edinburgh have splintered the Montpellier defence."

What a move @EdinburghRugby π pic.twitter.com/0lQBkOMigK
A losing bonus point for Richard Cockerill and this wonderful score from inside their own 10 to add to the highlight reel, will provide solace in defeat for the Scottish side.
5) Stockdale on the scoresheet in Ulster victory
