“Best aerial score ever” – Duhan Van der Merwe try goes viral

This Duhan Van der Merwe try against Italy at Murrayfield on Super Saturday was yet another special score from the winger.

RUCK’s 2023 Six Nations content powered by ISUZU.

The Scotland powerhouse, with the odds against him, somehow touched down when it looked as if he’d surely be tackled into touch.

One fan wrote: “Van Der Merwe is some player I so wish he was available to play for England. Lucky Scots.”

A second commented: “What a finish from Duhan van der Merwe. He’s been a monster all tournament and he adds another spectacular try to the highlight reel. Surely up there for player of the tournament?”

Another added: “What an absolutely ridiculous try by Duhan Van der Merwe. A few NRL wingers would have been proud of that one.”
