International Rugby Players Men’s Try of the Year
- Rodrigo Fernandez (Chile, v USA on 9 July)
- Chris Harris (Scotland, v Italy on 12 March)
- Edoardo Padovani (Italy, v Wales on 19 March)
- Louis Rees-Zammit (Wales, v South Africa on 2 July)
Three counter-attacking tries that started deep inside the attacking team’s own half and one example of pure pace. Chile fly-half Rodrigo Fernandez picked up the ball just outside his 22 and then slalomed past six USA defenders before reaching the line, a feat made all the more implausible by the incredibly wet conditions. Chris Harris finished off a fine team counter-attack for Scotland against Italy, while Edoardo Padovani touched down for the Azzurri against Wales following a scintillating break from Ange Capuozzo. Louis Rees-Zammit, meanwhile, used his acceleration to leave the South African defence trailing in his wake.
Love the Italian try, individual brilliance but then the calm to make the right play and put his teamate over. Beautiful
That Wales try is fine, but is it really a top 5 try in the world for the year???

This is all small fry compared to the major outrage here.
21 years or these men's awards and there has never been a single nomination for a prop. If that's not discrimination against our bigger boned brethren, I don't know what is.

@Daffy-Jaffy hah I was gonna say I thought Arundell was an odd call - the try was a cracker though.

Funny how WR want to hand out awards for exciting running rugby scores yet run the game so that the most productive scoring option is from a maul.
