    Hopefully starts at the right time. Nope.
    1:09 for the Kirwan 1998 Bledisloe try.

    Why wouldn't you just watch the whole thing? 🙂

    @voodoo said in Great tries burned into your memory:

    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.

    Wow. Tony Johnson commentating way back in 96? I'd never heard of him until I returned from OE in early 2000s.

    @Virgil I was going to post that one but got distracted. Scary that he scored a bunch of tries in 15s that looked like 7s tries

    Nick Farr Jones commentating too. Always enjoyed his insights.

    Might search out a video when I have time but that try Lomu scored against the Saders when he fended off Vunibaka twice has probably grown in my memory over time.

    @Kirwan so many things fell into place, but for me, the key to that try is Aaron Smith.

    What are farken legend. Turns back to pick up bad pass, the acceleration, the momentum even when falling, Jonah and Cully are the two best try scorers I've ever seen

    Hands up if the words "Gordon Hamilton 1991" brings back instant visuals?

    He was everywhere.

    The thing that sticks out to me was our ruck work. Ireland really poured in on every tackle and we were able to secure ball.

    Read’s no look pass back on the inside to Bender was just audacious in the circumstances
