We recently asked our fans to vote for their favourite tries with over 1,000 responses helping us put together a top 6.

Greatest tries of all-time:

#6. Cheslin Kolbe vs England, 2019

The Springbok winger showed his class on the world stage.

#5. Will Greenwood vs Wales, 2003

A superb burst from Jason Robinson sees the ball go from his own 10-meter line to the try line in just over 10 seconds.

#4. Sean O'Brien vs All Blacks, 2017

From deep in his own 22, Liam Williams launched a stunning Lions counter-attack which ended with Sean O'Brien crossing for one of the all-time great tries!

#3. Jonah Lomu vs England, 1995

Lomu steamrolled the English defence at Rugby World Cup 1995.

#2. Jean-Luc Sadourny vs All Blacks, 1994

They called it "the try from the end of the world." With good reason too, as this try came from the most unlikely of situations and showed just what the phrase "French Flair" means, as Jean-Luc Sadourny finished off a true team try. To add to this, the try also won the game and the series, making it the first time France had beaten the All Blacks in a series in New Zealand.

#1. Gareth Edwards vs All Blacks, 1973

Gareth Edwards, ex Millfield, scores in the opening minutes of the Barbarians 1973 victory of the all conquering All Blacks in what is generally recognised as the greatest every try.
