Woodcock 2011 RWC Final
Such an underrated try this - especially when you think about the occasion, the planning that would have gone into it for 2-3 years prior when they decided to shelve for just this moment, the perfection of the execution - right down to Piri's kick to the corner to set it all up.

A couple of domestic ones
One try that I can never forget, Anthony Tahana scoring in the last few minutes for BoP to win the Shield off Auckland, not spectacular but it was important to me and helped banish Matt Carrington into the back of my memory ....and then thinking of beating Auckland reminds me of one of my favourite wingers of all time (pre pie eating) Rupeni Caucaunibuca. I was actually drinking with some taniwha friends that day in 2001 and the hangover was huge, found some highlights of the day
probably could find some better ones in his career, but this came to mind regardless

Richard Bands running 50m and steamrolling Carlos
Every try Kees Meeuws scored with body height 1mm off the ground
I'm getting the distinct whiff of an ex-prop?
Ha, actually no, just enjoy the fatties getting over the line- personally, I was more like the mind of a prop, trapped inside the body of a flanker, trying to play in the midfield - can't for the life of me understand why I was no good...

96 Boks tour one that is burned in the old memory is from the first test - Wilson’s chip and chase down the right side off a scrum from our own half.

@Snowy was more than just 'los though (sure he had the vision/balls to start the move) Rok, Gus, even Howlett ending up being a decoy, superb try that one.
shame the quality is so shite, Sky need to replay these matches and someone needs to re-record his stuff
Often looked like he was cruising as he outran other wings

Ryan Crotty deep into stoppage time in Dublin in 2013.
A great team try that will never ever get old watching.
How no one under that pressure and environment dropped the ball or knocked on, especially with the number of touches from tight forwards, still amazes me. The pace we played at too.
