TOKYO (Reuters) - When All Black coach Steve Hansen says he was out of his seat with excitement you know something extraordinary must have happened and TJ Perenara's amazing try to seal their 71-9 victory over Namibia on Sunday was certainly a moment to savour.

Perenara started it when he charged down the left wing and kept the ball alive as he was dumped to the turf. The ball was then fed to fellow-replacement Brad Weber, who produced the most outrageous "round the back" pass into the hands of Perenara, who had sprung back to his feet to run in support.
