The great team try in the 1995 RWC SF v England should be in my list. Quite similar to the 1992 Bledisloe team try I included. I remembered the interplay, Down the left just like 1992. Little and Brewer again just like 1992, Osbourne instead of Timu. But I just couldn't remember the finish. Thinking of Lomu's runs in pool play v Wales and Ireland that Kronfeld finished off finally triggered my memory of Kronfeld also finishing off this try.
But .... obviously was no longer burned in memory.
that's my favourite. Osbourne and Little interplay finished by Kronfield wasn't it?
There was one against France over there with Mils and Sivi that was awesome.

Not involving NZ.
I can half remember two great France tries v England in 5 Nations in crica 1990 and 1991.
In particular the one at Twickenham started by Blanco behind his own line and I'm pretty sure included a centring kick. Sure it was in the dieing minutes.There was that great Finn Russell pass from just a year or 2 ago. Sco v Eng. But ruined optically by going through a ruck phase before scoring the try.

Genia in the 2011 super rugby final too

Arthur Stone.
Burned into many an Auckland supporters memory as well.
I believe GFY is the appropriate comment for that.
Thought you’d like that.

Again, weirdly. For a guy of my generation. I don't remember any from the 1996 series win v South Africa. Except for the dodgy one with the 2 locks linking but optically ruined by Ian Jones' forward over the top basketball pass to Jeff Wilson.
I remember the final whistle at Pretoria.
I remember Zinny's drop goal.
I recall Criag Down scoring in Cape Town, but that wasn't part of the series. Can't actually picture the try though.
I can envison Os du Randt being subsuituted. -
What was the one described as " bewildering backline move" by the press?
I think it was against Aus and when Wayne Smith was coaching in some capacity? It went through so many hands and was confusing to even watch but brilliant none the less.
Just remember how clever it was and off a set piece.

You don't remember Wilson's two tries from chip and chases?

That would be the one in the video I posted in this very thread.

It's brought back memories, cheers. But obviously not burned on.

I think that would be the one. I have just watched it a few more times to check. Bloody awesome.
