South Africa's Manie Libbok produced one of the passes of the tournament so far with a 'no look' pass for the Springbok's second try against Scotland in their opening game of the World Cup.
With South Africa already 11-3 up in the second half, Libbok received the ball and in one quick motion released it upfield.
However, this wasn't by way of any standard pass, no. Instead, the 26-year-old conjured up a no-look pass deftly hit to the right flank, that spilled the Scottish defense and landed straight into the hands of Kurt-Lee Arendse.
With space to spare, Arendse then sprinted past the line to extend South Africa's lead in the Group A clash.
It has already been an eventful game for Libbok, who put the Springbok into the lead with two penalties in the first 25 minutes, before failing to covert a third before the break.
Yet, it was his moment of magic for Arende's try that had fans on social media salivating over the no-look pass.
One account posted; 'No-look cross-kick pass. Outstanding. Manie Libbok to Kurt-Lee Arendse.' Complete with a drooling emoji.
Another fan was so dumbfounded by the past they used a special shocked-faced GIF from a familiar character in the TV classic Friends to convey their view of Libbok's assist.
I added the comment 'Manie Libbok No Look Kick Pass' to clarify what they were referring to.
There was even a claim to Libbok being a cheat code from another user who waxed lyrical about the pass by saying; 'Manie is a cheat code...no look pass kick!?! That was RIDICULOUS.'
Others called the pass 'outrageous' and 'gorgeous' and described the assist as 'something else.'
While one post posted a picture of former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino pulling off the same act, with the caption; 'Libbok with that no look cross-kick. Things you love to see.'
Pieter-Steph du Toit scored an opening try for South Africa before Libbok's role in the game, which eventually saw them secure an 18-3 victory.
