Will Greenwood picks his favourite moments from the weekend's rugby action

There was plenty of blistering Top 14 and Sevens action to keep us entertained over the weekend, and it was in France where Lyon's Freddie Michalak managed to hit the post with four kicks at goal - and three of them went in!

In another of Saturday's games, Ma'a Nonu - normally the one to punish anyone luckless enough to get caught in his path - was put on his back by a big run from La Rochelle centre Levani Botia.

La Rochelle hadn't won at the Stade Felix Mayol since the 1973-74 season, but Brock James' last-gasp penalty snatched a win that put the visitors at the summit of the Top 14 table. Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal was so angry after the game, he slashed his players' scheduled time off during the Six Nations.

In Wellington, USA speedster Perry Baker took apart the French defence at the Sevens to score a magnificent try, while Scotland's James Fleming made an incredible try-saving tackle as his side beat England 14-12 to make the Cup semi-final.
