Tadhg Beirne’s incredible season continued on Wednesday when he was awarded the European Rugby Champions Cup Try of the Season award.
The Scarlets second-row’s step on Anthony Watson to score in the PRO14 finalists win over Bath in the pool stages was voted as the try of the season by fans with Beirne’s score beating Glasgow Warriors wing Tommy Seymour’s delightful counter-attacking try against Exeter and Munster wing Andrew Conway’s spectacular score in their quarter-final victory over RC Toulon.
O’Driscoll said of Beirne’s try: “This was an incredible team try combining wonderful offloading, clever angles of running, ball handling of the highest order, eventually finished off by a second row flat-footing Anthony Watson with a step any outside back would have been proud of.”
Here is how Beirne’s try compares to the other two and cast a vote in our poll below to decide which one of the three tries you think should have won the Try of the Season award.
