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.
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
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.
Even the Saffers I know appreciate that try for what it was. It was a special moment in rugby, sure, but just as a try it was bloody good too. Any team would have been pleased with that one.
Let me tell you about Japan winning against us in wc 2015, it certainly brought us back to the ground because we thought it was gonna be a easy win, but it open our eyes as to not take these smaller teams for granted...
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 !
Excellent video, some of the most iconic scores in the history of the game, the try from the other end of the world, the '73 baa baas to name but two, good work!
If I Remember 7or 8 Welshman 1 Englishman , The Best try by far To turn hopelessness into attack And against not bad team All Black ( Bennett had the best sidestep, He could just go sideways and Make you look Silly , not that they Did not know HE had a sidestep , ) PS HE WAS NOT A BAD REPLACEMENT For Barry John , Kiwi love that man !
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.
Loved this. Love virtually all of them. Not sure without having a look if you’ve already done it before or not but if you haven’t the best try assists would make for a great video
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
Wonderfull tries. I remember another one: A Tim Horan's try with an amazing pass from David Campese during an Australia/New Zealand in a World Cup 1991' semi-final
Beautiful list, my friend. My only change would have been to save THAT Baabaas try for last. In my opinion, the try that defines what this wonderful game is about.
That try from France vs All Blacks makes the hair stand on the back of my neck and I am an All Blacks fan. Last time All Blacks lost at Eden Park and a Series in NZ - 1994.
You refering to 2 different matches ! The Eden park game was in 1994, when the other one was in 2007 (during the RWC France, even though this game had been relocated in Cardiff, Wales, for "diplomatic" reasons)
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
Henry Chitham his ignorance of how to pronounce Tonga ( not hard if you listen) after spending a month making the Israel Folau tweet controversy a personal crusade of sorts ( Folau is Tongan ) bugged me no end. He obviously had no interest in the culture that formed Folau's (stupid) tweet, most Tongans are devout pentacostal christians ( bat shit crazy christians ), but for Squidge the enemy has no face, he cant even pronounce Tonga correctly. And irregardless of that , he's a rugby fan and he's never watched a game of rugby involving Tonga
Doc Gonzales so you cannot be a rugby fan if you haven’t watched Tonga? That’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. Also, apparently being religious is an excuse for everything? So I can sacrifice people to the gods and that’s fine, as long as I am a crazy religious fanatic? Jesus, shut the fuck up
It is always odd looking back on any footage. Even using 2000 as an example, its still more than a little grainy. Of course one has to wonder what footage from 2020 will look like in 2040, haha.
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.
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.
Watching this I know how much I miss the remaining 6Nations-games...The first Springbok-try at the RWC-final by Makazole Mapimpi would fit to this collection.
If I had to add one, it would be Tim Horan's try on a blind pass from David Campese during the 1/2 final of the 1991 World Cup against New Zealand. I'm also thinking about Jason Robinson's try in the final of the 2003 World Cup. 👍Great Video! 🏉from a rugby french fan🏉
John Kirwans try in the 1987 WC must be in the top 3 of all individual tries, to this day it still looks almost impossible, how wrong we were for us that saw it on free to air tv in NZ
My question aswell that try alone beats out atleast 5 on this list and Jacques let a lone Brian Habana and others has so many that could have been added here instead.
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........
Springbok fan here, but that was a great moment. Once I could speak again (after about 20 minutes), I recognised how wonderful it actually was. Surprising how so many people still talk about how SA lost to Japan. Actually, they did not lose. They played fairly well, but Japan BEAT them, which is a different thing entirely.
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:
Paddy Grant With Joubert as a referee, you will never get caught as long as you play for a southern nation. I can hardly see the difference between playing with the rules and cheating in this case...
They probably get no backing or exposure in soccer mad Spain.Did you see the French club final between Racing 92 and Toulon at Camp nou in 2016?,it was full 99,140 in attendance for a French club game in soccer mad Spain.
Some pretty good stuff here. Thanks for putting it together. If you'll forgive me for saying, some bias towards the more modern stuff I think. Hard to believe that a video titled "Unforgettable tries" doesn't feature Campese even once. Or for that matter Rory Underwood, Ieuan Evans, Simon Geoghegan, Jeremy Guscott, or Scott Gibbs. I mean who could forget Gibbs' try against England at Wembley in 1999? Michael Lynaugh's try against Ireland in 1991??
Not just unforgettable tries. There are a couple of unforgettable games here too. My favourite has to be Japan v SA. What an amazing game. One try missing for me though was by Phillipe Saint Andre against England at Twickenham. Started by, of course, Serge Blanco. A truly amazing try as good as the one by Gareth Edwards for the Babas against NZ in my opinion.
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.
If I could like this more I would... Looks better when it's slowed down with the technique being the main point. Fantastic try
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!
naahhh

Inittt
The greatest sport of all pity only half the world knows about it
American?
right??
Been learning this sport more lately. It's a fantastic sport!
Some great memories...Japan’s try against SA was spine-tingling and Lomu’s one was just awe-inspiring
I was sick after that
Shocked
Well….I’m South African anyway
That Japanese game winner still gives me the chills. Superb
A thing of nightmares :'(

The team try by France is the peak in my opinion, embodiment of teamwork and the vision of the fullback (nos 15), possession play!
thanks so much for the video.
one of the best I've seen, love the different era's.
fijis try and Chris Ashton really stood out.
they were all great
Isn't rugby such a great game, Thanks for posting.
5:06 that panache pass french style.

If I Remember 7or 8 Welshman
1 Englishman , The Best try by far
To turn hopelessness into attack
And against not bad team All Black
( Bennett had the best sidestep,
He could just go sideways and
Make you look Silly , not that they
Did not know HE had a sidestep , )
PS HE WAS NOT A BAD REPLACEMENT
For Barry John , Kiwi love that man !
5:44 dayum the ref of the side line is FAST
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.
The arm locks are scrums and the cheerleader lifts are lineouts

Barnes. The referee that cost the All Blacks that World Cup

Go the mighty All Blacks !
Stay healthy and stay safe..
Australia ..
Glad to see a Caucau try at the end there, he's the most talented player I have ever seen.
Brought back some happy memories. Thanks.
2:15, this was the most obvious forward pass, by far the most controversial try in the history of rugby.
Yes and the French have the cheek to moan about 2011 which was nothing compared to that game in 2007
True...End To End stuff.....This is Rugby it'll never End..where Stars are Made and The Game Is Played.
2:29 - 3:04 = Brasil's 4th goal against Italy in 1970 World Cup. Amazing!
For big men, some of these guys have incredible pace.
Bruh I thought that there was a fly on my screen smh
6:46 is absolutely insane. The pass through the legs is CRAZY

Tri-nations was always good to watch.
Three powerhouses battling it out. This is what I loved about the game.
Rugby is a great team game with the quick passes and the solo sprint to cross the line. Nice game.

The second Try had me sold
And at 9.58
The Greatest Try by a LIONS side ever
Great Compilation
Great video. Looking forward to a part 2.
John Kirwan had spiders on him to score that amazing try.
70's and 80's the most spectacular rugby
And music lol.
6:00 that number 14 moves and run and dribbles like a Gazelle! Amazing!
John Kirwan
Increibles ensayos !!! Amaizing. Slds from Spain. 👏👏👏
My god, these tries are absolutely brilliant.
So glad to see Scotland in this love my team 🏴
The best things in sport:
An inside the park home run
A stump destroying reverse swinging Yorker
And a length of the field try.
1:25 nah man you gotta show the conversion and then the salute. Icing on the cake
the French one againt the All Blacks is the most fabulous.
John Kirwans try in the 1987 WC must be in the top 3 of all individual tries, to this day it still looks almost impossible, how wrong we were for us that saw it on free to air tv in NZ

My question aswell that try alone beats out atleast 5 on this list and Jacques let a lone Brian Habana and others has so many that could have been added here instead.
Exactly. Biased.
Part 2 should have the Baa Baa's 2nd try v AB's in "that game". It was very nearly as good as the first one, but gets little airtime..
04:41 perfect!

l'essai du bout du monde !
And Mac Caw being I don't know how many times offside during RWC final against France? Many thanks M. Joubert...
It's only illegal if you get caught. Back row is about seeing how far you can push the law. McCaw was the master at doing his job.
Paddy Grant With Joubert as a referee, you will never get caught as long as you play for a southern nation. I can hardly see the difference between playing with the rules and cheating in this case...
You moan about 2011 which was nothing compared to 2007 where NZ were totally robbed
Merci beaucoup. Incredible tries. Woodcock try 2011 final and Australia 1st minute try against the AB in 1994 would had make it. Fantastic video

More than a few forward passes in that lot.
