Here's another one...
It's simply outstanding how easily he takes the lead and cuts in front of the opposite jumper
This is a highly valued skill, as it can put a cork in allowing the other team to invade your in-goal area

This has become one of šµš¹ best counter moves in the last 4 years, with Martins in the centre of all
Also, props for US Dax Diogo Hasse Ferreira and FC Grenoble JosƩ Madeira. Both are always on the right time to lift Martins up
Martins shifts to the wing when Portugal has the ball under their control due to his speed, agility and ability to tackle on the spot
Here is an example of why it works and why it can be lethal
Bento gets the ball and kicks it down, with Martins forcing Simionescu to 'kick' it out
It would lead to a lineout and a maul drive, with šµš¹ almost scoring a very early try
Look how quickly he followed Storti and SimĆ£o Bento
A small example was this turnover in the dying moments of the game
He picked the right moment to pounce and steal the egg
Excellence of the highest degree
- 8 lineout steals
- 3 tries
- 1 try assist
- 57 tackles (100%)
- 2 POTM accolades
- 90 metres run (2nd forward with most metres run)
He will easily have a place in my team of the tournament - Niniashvili and Tabutsadze are already in it
