George Kruis slots cheeky back-heeled conversion against England
- 4504
A French-inspired Barbarians drubbed England with a seven-try showing at Twickenham to win 52-21 despite the dismissal of Will Skelton.
Playing in his final professional game as he hangs up his boots, former England and British & Irish Lions' lock George Kruis slotted three conversions in the match.
The last of which was the most impressive has he back-heeled the ball from the tee to add the cherry on the top for the invitational side.

Charles Ollivon crossed, with Damian Pernaud getting a brace and Baptiste Couilloud, Max Spring and Antoine Hastoy going over, while a penalty try was also awarded as Eddie Jones' team were easily dispatched.
Joe Cokanasiga, Jonny May and Marcus Smith scored for England but the latter missed all three conversions to cap off a sorry day.
Today was @GeorgeKruis’ final game before retirement.
