As you can imagine, the man himself was well aware of how miraculous the moment was. And, well, wouldn’t you want the ground to swallow you up?
I think I have the most embarrassing moment in @USARugby history.

He wasn’t alone with an experience like this, though. Just look at what England and GB’s Abbie Brown had to say, here.
We’ve all been there, right??.. luckily my team mate caught it otherwise we would of lost the match ? #flashback https://t.co/qtJWWYYqsB

USA did win, and they also beat Kenya 12-10 earlier in the day.
If you want a stand-out result from day one of the Singapore Sevens, though, how about Ireland beating Fiji for the first time in series history? And they did it with a wonder moment from Terry Kennedy, too.
With the match in the balance, it's @IrishRugby talisman @TerryKennedy14 with a moment of magic to seal a first ever win over Fiji on the circuit@DHLrugby | #ImpactMoment pic.twitter.com/bb7fgosoXT
