    Try 1: Savea (NZ) v Scotland
    Try 2: Habana (SA) v NZ (he chips the ball and collects it this clip)
    Try 3: Malzieu (Fra) v Ita
    Try 4: Gear (NZ) v Ire

    Not a great selection but I'd go for Gear's myself as it's a nice bit of team play to work the ball out wide to him.

    Crap selection. The 2nd try against Scotland was way better. I'd say Earls would hate to see Gear's try again. :( Still looks painful.

    Hands down the best try for me was the one Argentina scored v NZ in the 4N. I would have been delighted if NZ had scored it, let alone the Pumas who are not traditionally known for their scintillating back play. It is really a sign of the rapid progress they have made. Combine that with their 2 tries v Wales, and the opening try they scored v France last week, and I have been impressed.

    Cant say I'd be too upset if they crushed us playing like that, to be honest.

    I thought the South African try against NZ where they flung it around from a lineout was pretty slick myself.

    International tries only?

    Presume it's international only, but the try Biarritz scored earlier this year at home, think it might have been against Toulon, was insane.

    Bizarrely enough in 08 and 09 when "supposedly" the game was in it a boring era is when had the best tries of the last few IRB tries of the year.

    Ireland has a lineout near NZ's 22, obviously its a try to NZ from there. Horrible to watch.

    Habana's try won it.

    Fair play to him, he's a great player, and a ray of sunshine in an otherwise grey SA backline. I have missed him in the AIs.

    Habana's try won it.

    I honestly don't understand how that could be selected as the try of the year. There is nothing particularly amazing about it at all. Argentina's try at the start of the NZ game is far, far superior.
