Gorge your eyes on this, ladies and gents.

As with every year, the IRPA(International Rugby Players Association) have shortlisted five tries to be voted upon to decide the try of the year.

Rightly, all the tries are different, be they well worked team efforts or touch downs of virtuoso brilliance; and, crucially, both sexes are also covered.

For us here at RBP, the best try gong should go to Francois Hougaard and South Africa for their million miles an hour try in their epic test victory over New Zealand. Given it’s context, late in the game and against possibly the best test side ever, that touch down is a winner in our books.

The IRB Youtube channel recently caught up with Ken and George Pisi, the Samoan brothers plying their trade at Aviva Premiership Champions Northampton Saints.

The duo were put to the test in order to reveal how well they know each other.

The answer: Not as well as you may think.
