Unreal Tadhg Furlong hands send Twitter crazy

Tadhg Furlong may well have the best hands in the world for a prop weighing 120kgs plus and he set Twitter on fire today in the first half against Wales in the Six Nations.

The tighthead produced a sensational floated pull back pass to put his teammate Johnny Sexton into a gap just a split second before being hit by two tacklers. With James Ryan just on his shoulder, this had to be a pinpoint pass to pick out Sexton which only a few props in the world could pull off.

This caused quite a reaction on Twitter, with tonnes of fans praising his hands. Take a look:
