England centre’s 50-yard NFL throws leaves Ugo Monye speechless
England centre Joe Marchant has an arm! Despite the fact that one-armed, NFL style throws are all but useless in rugby union, Marchant managed this humdinger against Bath.
The 24-year-old, who has played for Harlequins since 2014, represented the Auckland-based Blues club from January 1 to June 30 in a revolutionary move made possible through the Club’s ongoing relationship with New Zealand Rugby (NZR).
Did the New Zealander teach Marchant this NFL trickery?
