Moments that lit up the rugby world
Unless you were asleep over the weekend, you will have already seen Simon Zebo's outstanding piece of skill in Ireland's second try against Wales on Saturday.
It was a slice of skill to get kids practicing on the streets and pitches of the country and it got us to wondering at other examples that lit up the world of rugby.
So here ya go....
It has been dubbed by many in rugby circles as "The Greatest Try of All Time", and it is hard to disagree with this effort from 1973 when the took on the All Blacks at Cardiff's Arms Park in front of 51,000 roaring fans.
It was the era when Wales dominated rugby and they supplied most of the team that day including JPR Williams, Phil Bennett and the try-scorer himself Gareth Edwards.
To appease our Kiwi friends, our next offering is from the 1995 World Cup in South Africa when a certain rugby legend, took on England by himself to score four wonderful tries.
We like the first one where he bulldozes through England's unfortunate Mike Catt. Sorry Mike....
Of course, we can't forget the imperious who was masterly on Saturday and could do it for the Lions also as we can see from this effort against Australia in the first Test of their tour Down Under in 2001.
You may spot the interim Welsh coach, Rob Howley, taking part in the move also.
had made the world stand up a year earlier in Paris when he scored his hat-trick of tries against the French in the Six Nations to give Ireland their first win on French soil for 28 years. Will we see him doing it again for Ireland this year? Or any other year? Don't go Brian!!!!
Turning to a Welsh legend now , who only retired two years ago from international rugby, and this beauty against Australia when they came to the Millenium Stadium on their November tour in 2008. What a way to start a game!
Just to show that our is no flash in the pan, here is a selection of his other tries for Munster and Ireland.
And here is the original incident that sparked us off.
