England wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso left fans stunned as he pulled off a remarkable gymnastic feat during his side's clash with Australia.

Steve Borthwick's side took the lead against the Wallabies after just five minutes at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham with flanker Chandler Cunningham-South crossing in the corner for the first of his two first-half tries.

It was a fine team try but, as viewers watched back replays of the score, it was something that Feyi-Waboso did in the build up that really caught their eye.

The 21-year-old Cardiff-born wing braved a big hit from Dylan Pietsch as he made a perfectly-timed pass to Ben Earl, who then shipped the ball out to Cunningham-South on the right flank to score.

But while Feyi-Waboso was sent crashing to the turf, he was back amongst the action within a fraction of a second, as he fell into a backwards roll and incredibly sprang back to his feet in one clean movement.

The incredibly athletic move left fans in disbelief as they took to social media to make sure they weren't "seeing things".

"Anybody notice the way Feyi-Waboso sprang up after getting hit in the build up?," asked one, while another wrote: "Everyone notice Feyi-Waboso's gymnastics? I was creasing".

"The try was good but please show us again how Feyi-Waboso got back up without using his hands," added a third stunned viewer, while another said: "Feyi-Waboso done (sic) a ridiculous gymnastic type flip on England's first try, thought I was seeing things."

However, despite the wing's heroics, England lost out to a late try for the second week in a row as Max Jorgensen's score in the final minute saw the Wallabies claim a sensational 37-42 win. Feyi-Waboso, meanwhile, was withdrawn in the second half for an HIA.
