is This the Greastest try you have ever seen?

Certainly the greatest *team* try I've ever seen.

Worth a little bit of thought: There were exactly 0 professional rugby players on the pitch in that match.

My point is not that a modern professional test side would not defeat those amateurs (if such a match were possible). Rather it is that wonderful rugby union can - and still is - played by amateur players all over the world. Tip o' the cap to all the grass-roots rugby players.

No. There's plenty of great tries around and I wouldn't even say that is really a team try, it didn't go through that many hands once the final counter attack started. It was a great try, but that is all. Got to love the Babarians style of play though don't you and got to love the non existence of penalties for head high tackles, even taking advantage into account, lol. Man they were hard in those days.

An example of another great try that I like more than that one was Jonah Lomus try in the 1995 RWC when he ran over the top of Mike Catt. Another was Mortlocks intercept try that ended the AB's run in the 2003 RWC when he ran 85 odd metres. It wasn't anything magic, but was 'great' as it shattered a nation and was the second most important action in that RWC after Johnny's drop goal.

Edit: Here are the links, Jonah first and Mortlock second:

I havent looked at the video yet but im goin to guess its the gareth edwards try for the barbarians against the all blacks.Its by far the best team try ever scored.

Ill watch it nw though

That was a classic try, have a look at this one, though. The try from the edge of the world.

Yes -- a great and famous try. But I still think that last pass was forward.

not the best... but definitely a very good one.. iv definitely seen better.

i must have seen at least 3 forward passes in that try lol

Not Bad ,how many hands did it pass through,1 million? i don't mind those old Rugby Union games(they truly were classics).

This one was good. Michael Jomes at this best.
