Inside centre Rameka Poihipi dotted down after a record-breaking nine seconds in the Super Rugby Pacific clash between the Chiefs and Moana Pasifika on Saturday.
He pounced on a loose pass from Moana Pasifika winger Anzelo Tuitavuki, who had fielded Damian McKenzie’s kickoff, before bursting through the defence for the opening try at AAMI Park in Melbourne.
