A brilliant piece of skill from Salesi Rayasi to score in the Hurricanes' 6-43 victory over the Western Force.
How about the magical touch? 👌#SuperRugbyTT #HURvFOR

It was their biggest ever win over Western Force, who have suffered three consecutive defeats to start the Trans Tasman competition.
The Force opened up an early six-point lead with two Domingo Miotti penalties, but they were obliterated from there.
Salesi Rayasi scored in acrobatic fashion for his first and it was 19-6 at the break after Du'Plessis Kirifi dotted down. Rayasi added his second try of the match and a miserable day for the struggling Force was compounded in the last 10 minutes.
What a finish from Salesi Rayasi! 😳#HURvFOR #SuperRugbyTTpic.twitter.com/DxoWpSlVZc

"I thought we had one of our better performances of the year," stand-in Hurricanes captain Reed Prinsep said.
"A more complete package in attack and defence. Those backs are pretty special talents. As a forward, when you see that happen, you're pretty proud."
