WATCH: Laumape is the ultimate human wrecking ball

VIDEO: There were eight wonderful tries in the Hurricanes' hard-earned 29-27 win over the Blues in Wellington in a Super Rugby Aotearoa encounter on Saturday.

However, none was more impressive than the opening score by All Black centre Ngani Laumape.

Receiving the ball 45 metres out, he stepped and then out-gassed All Black fullback Beauden Barrett, before steamrolling Otere Black for a sensational start to the game.

Beauden Barrett, who was later out-duelled by younger brother Jordie Barrett in a kicking contest, got one back with a sublime show-and-go for the second try.

It is worth watching again and again!
