It looked a lost cause, with Williams seemingly beaten to the ball and surrounded by four defenders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, Toulon replacement Jeremy Sinzelle botched his attempt to ground the ball over his own line, allowing the Wales international to pounce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Still under pressure, Williams then produced an astonishing acrobatic finish, flicking the ball over his shoulder and grounding it one-handed for an opportunistic try that reduced the deficit to 24-12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The effort left the commentary team in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s a chance to chase here \u2013 and look at Tomos Williams!\u201d said main commentator Matt Gillingham.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cWilliams getting after Sinzelle and there\u2019s a touchdown! There is a try. The sheer determination of the Gloucester captain has paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Former England winger Matt Banahan was equally impressed by the skill involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cHacked through by Ludlow and then the chase from Tomos Williams,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cHe gets through and taps it over the back of his head. Tomos Williams, another one-handed piece of skill.
