Are you serious? What do you actually want from a great try? It has brilliant sidesteps, brilliant offloads, brilliant handling, brilliant support running. One guy nearly gets decapitated and still offloads it. From under their own posts, the whole pitch without stopping. Against the All Blacks. Like the commentator said, it couldn't have been written any better. Please wake up and realise that it IS a great try

The action starts at 0:00

I would have to disagree Ruby, but your opinion, I respect that.

[Ruby Doobie]

Rugby League is awful, it's like watching highschool kids play union.

[Reuben Moreno]

rugby leagues tries are twice as good

[Alex Edwards]

the pick up by quinnell is superb

[Lukozer]

Notice also that both high tackles were against JPR... Then again, the only way NZ could stop him was through high tackles... or stamping on his face!

[Steve Holt]

Not a rugby fan myself, but this clip brings up the hairs on my back every time i see it.

Great commentary too.

I love Union - but the way it's going, it will be as boring to watch as League soon enough.

I'm a former rugby player mate, so I know that. The high tackle was always considered a dirty bastard's method (still is) and I was merely pointing out who was doing the dirty play in this short clip. Who? The usual.

The full definition of the high tackle wasn't introduced into the IRB until 2003, before then the meaning was upto the referee's perspective.

yeah so? What has that got to do with the two trys? While I would agree with you Union is the superior code Billy Slaters try in state of origin was a more impressive try. I don't quite understand what your point is? My comment had nothing to do with code it had to do with two trys.
