🏉 Oh, what a blunder! Argentina’s Rodrigo Isgro delivered a jaw-dropping “rugby own goal” during a top English Premiership match over the weekend. With Gloucester and Harlequins neck and neck at 12-12 just before half-time, Isgro had a simple task: grab the ball and clear it. Instead, he kicked it straight to Gloucester’s Lewis Ludlow, gifting him an effortless try on his milestone 250th appearance!
🎉 TNT Sports commentators couldn’t believe their eyes! Dave Rogers was stunned, exclaiming, “Oh my goodness me, Rodrigo Isgro has gifted Lewis Ludlow a try!” His co-commentator, ex-rugby pro Rory Lawson, added, “Lewis Ludlow – always there scavenging, always there. This is not great by Isgro. What a moment for that man. 250th game and he’s dotting down.”
🙌 The Kingsholm crowd went wild witnessing this unexpected twist. Gloucester pulled ahead with a 26-15 victory, thanks to tries from Ludlow, Ollie Thorley, and a double from Ben Redshaw. Despite the win, Gloucester is still struggling second from bottom in the league standings.
🇬🇧 Exciting times ahead as the Champions Cup kicks off this weekend! Quins are set to face Leinster at the Aviva Stadium, while Gloucester hosts Castres. Meanwhile, the Welsh regions are also gearing up for their European challenges!
