Fijian Flash Peniasi Dakuwaqa has set rugby fans on fire around the world with one of the best tries in Top 14 history running a total of 127 metres to score a phenomenal try for his Stade Francais Paris side in their game against Racing 92.

Dakuwaqa, a winger for Top 14 team Stade Français Paris, looked like he was about to make a big mistake when he picked up the loose ball and ran it back inside his own try line.

Fear quickly turned to ecstasy for Paris fans, as Dakuwaqa ran the entire length of the field, including a chip-and-chase and hurdling over an injured player and trainer, to score five points for his team.

This was one of two tries Dakuwaqa scored for his side, as Stade Français Paris went on to win the game 27-11.

The team has now won their last four games as they maintain their slim lead on Toulouse for the top of the Top 14 standings.
