caption_attribution_description: Connacht vs Cavalieri Prato Niva Ta'auso makes a break. He ran the length of the pitch to score under the posts. I got a bit lucky with this shot - I panned with him and managed to keep his upper half unblurred. Under the floodlights there just isn't quite enough light for my lens to freeze action.
