Los Teros’ Santiago Arata scored one of the greatest solo tries during the RWC 2015-2019 cycle. It came in a home match against Spain during the 2017 Nations Cup in Montevideo. The Uruguayan scrum-half scored what was an 80 meter individual try.
The score was from a restart. The no 9 gathered the kick-off and immediately counter-attacked. He wormed his way through Spanish defenders to beat five in all before kicking, chasing, regathering and scoring under the posts.
