You'd be forgiven for thinking that the World Cup is the only rugby show in town during these weeks. Not so. Such is the massive amount of fixtures to play in a limited time - the third round of Pro 12 fixtures are underway this weekend.

Craig Gilroy got the pick of the tries, with a try that you don't see in professional rugby all too often. It's one of those where a star underage player usually gets away with, but Gilroy's stepping and pace makes the Treviso defence look like they are eight years old as he ghosts by them:

It's not altogether unexpected from Gilroy, who has a knack for some spectacular tries like this.

Probably the worst part of the try, is that the stand-in Ulster kicker managed to miss the conversion.
