Editor

It is that time again for our Video of the Week, bringing you standout footage you may enjoy. Today we have the Try of the Year shortlist.

The contenders for the International Rugby Players’ Association (IRPA) Try of the Year 2017 have been revealed, with the winner to be announced at the World Rugby Awards in Monte Carlo on 26 November.

Two solo tries are shortlisted with New Zealand wing Portia Woodman’s score in the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2017 semi-final and Georgia scrum-half Gela Aprasidze’s effort in the World Rugby U20 Championship joined by scores finished off by Argentina full-back Joaquin Tuculet and British and Irish Lions flanker Sean O’Brien.

The four tries were selected by the IRPA Try of the Year panel of former players: Stefan Terblanche and Andries Pretorius of South Africa, Hale T-Pole of Tonga and Ireland’s Isaac Boss.

The winner, though, will be determined by rugby fans on Twitter with the public vote beginning today and ending on 26 November with guests at the awards able to view and cast their votes before the accolade is presented later in the evening.

A specific voting poll is now live on World Rugby’s Twitter page where fans are encouraged to visit to cast their vote.
