Springbok superstar Cheslyn Kolbe showed off her talent on both sides of the ball, scoring a stunning try while playing in Japan.
Fryer returned quickly after playing for the first time in more than a month due to an injury sustained in mid-February.
In the match between Tokyo Sun Goliath led by Kolbe and Yokohama Canon Eagles, Sun Goliath held their own despite leading 28-10.

The Canon Eagles powered towards the line, but a remarkable effort from the two-time Rugby World Cup winner saw him make a great tackle on the rampaging forward.
At the same time, it appeared that he somehow stole the ball, got up and sprinted from the goal line.
Kolbe then ran for more than 60 meters before finding a support player and ended with center Ryoto Nakamura crossing the whitewash.

“So ridiculous,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter), a view shared by many.
While most people rightly focus on what the Springbok speedster can do with the ball in his hands, the 30-year-old excels in other ways as well.

multifaceted kolbe
Today's Test wingers cannot rely solely on attacking quality to succeed at the highest level, they must be competent in all areas of the game, and Kolbe has increased his arsenal over the years.
He's good at attacking under high balls, and as that clip showed, he's incredibly resilient on defense and can make an impact like he did with Sangoliath.
This try gave them a 35-10 lead at the break, but their opponents reacted well in the second period and made a dramatic comeback.
The Canon Eagles won 37-35 for the seventh time in 11 seasons, closing the gap on Sungoliath in Japan Rugby League 1.
Coach Kolbe's team finished second in the conference and third overall, but suffered their third loss of the season.
