No Irish efforts made the cut we’re afraid, but it’s a more than decent selection all the same.

Five efforts have been put forward by the International Rugby Players’ Association for the best try of the year so far and it’s a nice mix with two from South Africa and one apiece from England, Wales and Canada. There’s also a nice mix between individual and team tries as the scores from Jamie Roberts, Francis Hougaard and Cornal Hendricks were the result of a collective effort, whereas the tries scored by England’s Jonny May and Magali Harvey from the Canadian women’s team owed much to their individual pace and skill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGnbdhhn1wA They’re all brilliant and all well worth at least one watch, but if pressed we’d probably go for Hougaard’s as not many teams tear the All-Blacks apart like that; as we know only too well, it’s usually the other way around.
