VIDEO: James O'Connor nightmare

The Cell C Sharks ended their Australasian tour with a win against the Reds in Brisbane and it was partly thanks to a complete brainfart' by home full-back James O'Connor.

The Sharks were 16-14 ahead going into the last quarter of the game chasing their first victory in six matches.

Wallabies golden boy, O'Connor, then secured a spot in the headlines with a moment he will not want to see too many times.

O'Connor completely fluffed a clearance kick and was made to pay for it.

The poorly struck kick went straight into the hands of Sharks scrumhalf Stefan Ungerer.

He showed good hands and perhaps benefited from a calf muscle issue that slowed down his attempted charge.

I suspect this could end up being one of the Vodacom SupeRugby Bloopers-of-the-Year.

The Sharks will no doubt be hoping for more favours when they host the Rebels in Durban this week Friday.

Kickoff is at 19h10.
