Number 5 – Kieran Marmion vs. Leinster

Last year Marmion came onto the scene from nowhere along with Henshaw as Connacht’s rising stars. He has improved immensely and become and integral part of Connacht’s winning form this year. His try earlier in the year against Leinster sums up how Marmion’s speed and quick thinking has helped Connacht. Brilliant individual try.

Number 4- Nick Cummins vs. Australia 

Nick Cummins scores against the Wallabies? Probably not a headline you expected to hear at the start of 2014! The aussie cult hero moved to Japan after the Super Rugby season which allowed him to tog out for the famous BaBas in November in one of the game of the year. This Barbarians side was one of the best we have seen in years and provided some awesome tries and moments of skill.

3. Number 3- Danny Care vs. Ireland

Ireland fans look away. In Ireland’s only defeat of the year, Mike Brown provided a bit of magic with a hard running line through the Irish defence. His superb last minute offload allowed the rapid Danny Care to dive over under the posts in one of the best tries of the 6 Nations.

Number 2- Bernard Foley vs. Brumbies

Can you think of a better way to secure your place in a Super Rugby final? Probably not. While the Brumbies are in attack Foley make an excellent tackle in defence before the Tahs break away from their own 22. The 6’10 Will Skelton delivers a delicious offload to Foley who raced back up the pitch to run in for the try. Absolute magic!

Number 1 -Fa’asiu Fuatai v North Harbour

We could watch this over and over and over and over and over… yeah you get the idea. This try has to be our number 1 here at RBP HQ. The execution of this immaculate move is beyond perfection. Is there anything else to say? It’s just complete madness from Otago.

Now it’s the fans’ chance to decide!

Vote below which is your try of the year or select other and let us know which is your favourite if it isn’t on the list!

During the Barbarians awesome clash with Australia at Twickenham on Saturday, South African Marnitz Boshoff scored a try that oozed Barbarianse-sque Rugby bravado.

For the Rugby purist, this try had it all: brave running from inside their own 22, Nick The Honey Badger Cummins and some awesome offloading.

It proved to be too little too late, as Australia sneaked the win by four points, but, truly, Rugby was the winner.

In the day of professionalism, it’s great to see that the Barbarians ethos still runs true.

Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins

In the latest in their series of Rugby compilations, our friends at Rugby HQ have produced a wonderful montage of Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins’ best moment’s, both on and off the pitch.

A player of the highest quality on the pitch, Cummins is beloved by fans from all over the globe for his hilarious post match interviews and Cockney rhyme slang syntax.

Recently, in a move that enamored him even more to the public, Cummins accepted a transfer to Japanese side West Red Sparks as a means of paying for the medical bills for his ill father and brother.  Therefore, under the rules of the Australian Rugby Union, Cummins will not be eligible to represent his country in the upcoming Rugby World Cup. Given that the World Cup is the pinnacle of any players career, it was an extremely commendable and selfless move by the twenty six year old and his decision deserves the utmost respect.

Regardless of nationality, or your club affiliations, Nick Cummins is a certified Rugby legend.

We couldn’t have picked the 5 any better ourselves. We do feel a bit sorry for our cult hero The Honey Badger at the start, but hey, Rugby HQ provided us with plenty of laughs after.
