The volley is making a bit of a comeback in rugby at the moment.
Last weekend Finn Russell volleyed the perfectly against the Sale Sharks score in the Champions Cup quarter-final.

The trend continued this week with Highlander's flanker Billy Harmon catching Folau Fakatava's offload on the volley and outpaced the Western Force cover defence to score against the Rebels.
