FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Maddison levi s try saving tackle for the ages leaves rugby viewers in awe | History Defined

This is the moment Australian Sevens player Maddison Levi proved why you should never give up chasing back on the rugby pitch.

The 20-year-old has already enjoyed a remarkable career at her tender age by playing professional Aussie Rules football and winning a Gold Medal with Australia Sevens at this year's Commonwealth Games. Now a clip of her somehow denying Madagascar what seemed a certain try during their Sevens World Cup match in Cape Town is doing the rounds, leaving many astounded.

The remarkable try-saving tackle on Madagascar's Veronique Rasoanekena came during Australia's opening match of the tournament - a 48-0 against Madagascar, who are playing in the tournament for the first time. A historic five-try haul from Faith Nathan set Australia on their way, but it was the tackle of Levi, who also crossed for a try herself, that kept the World Cup rookies off the scoresheet.
