32 Great Rugby Tries - Impossible to Forget!

[@Broonzied]

That pass from Finn Russell and Huw Jones hitting it at pace remains one of the most beautiful things I have seen in sport. The more you watch it the better it gets.

[@johnkerr6294]

If I could like this more I would... Looks better when it's slowed down with the technique being the main point. Fantastic try

[@gunner678]

I have tears of joy in your eyes watching this during these dark times. The best sport in the world by far! True gladiators all!

[@mrtyke1925]

[@eviewillis4430]

Most iconic rugby try in my lifetime will always be the semi final try new Zealand v england. Jonah lomu running over mike catt. I was 8 years old when I watched that world Cup. The day after that try I begged my dad to take me to the local rugby club. Been watching it ever since. Watch rugby league two both 2 amazing sports and Jonah was the biggest star of them all. Rip big man will forever be my hero

[@interestedbystander196]

Indeed, friend. Jonah changed the game like no one before or since. He's a rugby icon/god/legend for a reason. I suspect, though, that if you dropped him into a game today (at peak fitness, his illness notwithstanding), he wouldn't make as much of an impact. He changed the mold for what a backline rugby player is. Never before had there been a giant, string, fast winger, with real skills. If you look now, though, every second guy is a Lomu. You see where I'm coming from? Jonah was a special player, and a standout in his time, and he wears the 11 jersey in my GOAT team. But the 14 jersey goes to my pick for the greatest winger, Bryan Habana. I'm sure a lot of folks would have things to say about my suggestion above, and about my selection, but it is my team. That's the beauty of it. I cannot be wrong. 😉 Have a good one, and stay safe.

[@GoGoTwice]

Some great memories...Japan’s try against SA was spine-tingling and Lomu’s one was just awe-inspiring

[@brucepeters9231]

Isn't rugby such a great game, Thanks for posting.

[@gillesmatheronpro]

All those great moments of sport and achievement... unique ! A particular one, I shall never forget : at 5:28 in the USA vs AFS pool match, during the RWC 2007 in France. I was the venue's official commentator, and couldn't believe it when the blazing Ngwenya outsprinted Habana for a 55 meter try. That was a sensation in the whole stadium, even for the staff in our booth ! We nearly forgot to announce it, then suddenly woke up to realise it was for real : someone could actually run faster than "Brian the one". Aside this particular moment, the whole World cup was a huge pleasure from start to finish. Kind of thing you never can forget and keep in your thoughts for a whole life. I just can't wait for that next one to come. See you in 2023, you lots !

[@kiyohshi6827]

Okay. I can admit after watching this, football does not compare. The arm locks, the cheerleader lift ups for the pass from outside the field, the constant plays. I mean I’ve never seen such a team sport filled w this much layers of strategy & athleticism. I wish I knew sooner.

[@kuszanz6553]

The arm locks are scrums and the cheerleader lifts are lineouts

[@jonathansmith3621]

A word on the Carlos Spencer try vs Crusaders, and correct me if I'm wrong. That was the final minute. Blues were ahead on points. Just needed to hold on and kick it out. Not only did he score that point, but deliberately touched down in the corner and slotted the kick to deprive them of the losing bonus point. This was away against their fiercest rivals. Legend

gilles matheron yes i realise these were 2 different games. I was fortunate to be at both games. I just always remember the 1994 game more vividly as that was a great French team. 2007 I try to bury that game and forget it, it was Les Bleus day

Great video yet again. Can’t wait for Part 2 at some point. Great range of scores. Could have added Cuthbert v England in 2013. But so many good scores to chose from. An embarrassment of riches creating another outstanding video

[@gregorm93]

Not sure why that last Habana try was in there, or Bennett's Scotland try against Australia - they were just breakaway tries that occur multiple times per season. But the rest of these are magnificent. I love seeing a piece of individual brilliance like the Dawson, Carter, Cullen or Lomu tries. But there's nothing more satisfying than seeing a whole-team try like Maitland for Scotland, Edwards for the Barbarians or Sadourny for the French.

[@iainreid9822]

I well remember the remarkable try by Jona Lomu. Next day some wag commented in the papers that they think Lomu should be questioned by the police for running over a Catt and failing to stop.

[@mikefraser4513]

Gareth Edward's with that try...the best build-up ever. That side-stepping from Phil Bennett was out of this world. The best ever try (IMO) I've watched it so often:

[@david10101961]

Sadly, Gareth Edwards' "try of the century" (2:30 onward) wouldn't have been allowed nowadays. The game would have been stopped for replays from 67 different angles while the TMO determined that the final pass was forward, and then the game would have been returned 80m downfield where Beegee would have been yellow (or red?) carded for his high tackle on JPR, and a penalty would have resulted all the way back there. The modern pro game shuns common sense for needless stoppages in its quest for pedantic accuracy. (You have to wonder where it will all end: perhaps the team captains will get two strategic referrals per half, similar to the DRS system used in cricket?) And yet despite all of this technology, refs still get panned for bias and errors........
