Great tries burned into your memory

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.

Carlos against the Crusaders. The sideline conversion was a cherry on the top.
I would have included this in my list, but I know it only from youtube. I must have been overseas or something at the time. Same with the 2000 Bledisloe tries, was backpacking, never saw them.

Vidiri double chip and catch. For the Blues.

Woodcock 2011 RWC Final
For spine tingling moments and crowd reactions, this is very high on the list.

For the All Blacks: Wilson's chip and catch down the right wing in Pretoria, 1996
Same year, Frank Bunce crashing over through Michael Brial in last minute after Mehrtens/Cullen break to score at Suncorp.
Ryan Crotty deep into stoppage time in Dublin in 2013.
Against the All Blacks: They Try From the End of the World by France at Eden Park, 1994
Not involving the All Blacks: Sergo Blanco scoring in last minute to defeat Australia and win 1987 RWC Semi.
