Your international debut is a seminal moment in any player’s career and, on Saturday, Augustine Pulu made his All Blacks bow in their clash with the USA in Chicago’s Soldier Field.

Even though the game was well over as a contest when Pulu, The Chiefs scrum half, was introduced, but, in typical Kiwi fashion, the tempo and physical intensity of New Zealand’s remained high until the very end, something which Tom Coolican can attest to.

Like the proverbial torpedo, Pulu fired himself at Coolican, knocking the back row into touch with aplomb. Latterly, due to the impact of the hit, Coolican had to receive medial attention.

Now, when you hear about a winger getting bounced-invariably, it’s by a player higher up the Rugby size scale,  usually a back-row or front row.

On this occasion, however, it was a winger on winger collision, with one winger, playing for the red and black clad team, steamrolling the other, making a mockery of the no winger on winger violence unwritten law of Rugby.

Thankfully, the victim wasn’t injured in the incident, apart from having his ego badly bruised.

It was the moment that catapulted American winger Zee Ngwenya into the conscious of the Rugby Universe.

America, already losing heavily, turned over South African ball in their own twenty two and, in the ultimate counter attack, the ball was spread wide to the Zimbabwean born flier, Ngwenya, who showed ridiculous velocity to burn his way down the outside, past Bryan Habana of all people, to touch down.

The Glasgow Warriors man took out a Canadian attacker that led to a turnover and scored a try following the turnover. The man just has that star factor about him. Watch the try here:
