Nehe Milner-Skudder’s gorgeous gem and six other sweet tries from 2015

2015 has featured a plethora of gob-smacking wonder tries, individual brilliance and team magnificence.

Here are some of the tries that had us standing and dancing in the (metaphorical) aisles this year. Nehe Milner-Skudder (NEW ZEALAND v Australia) For a man that only made his All Blacks debut in the summer, Milner-Skudder has rapidly made up for lost time. Even before his double try-scoring international debut, he was causing mayhem in Super Rugby. The Wallabies knew of his scoring threat but, with the game on the line and four men to beat, Milner-Skudder [go to 1:49 in the video] backed himself. https://youtu.be/7H9SxvK1BGY?t=1m49s He has scored more spectacular tries but this was some feat. Vincent Debaty (FRANCE v England) The loose-head prop had no business being that far up the pitch as he gave all Ireland fans hope on a frantic Six Nations final day. https://youtu.be/h2kPYfbcSms Credit: RBS 6 Nations via YouTube DTH van der Merwe (CANADA v Italy) Pace meets power meets scything accuracy. The Scarlets winger kicked off a stunning counter in his own 22 and linked up with Ciaran Hearn before doing the damage under the posts. https://youtu.be/BgUaP6bvbbE Credit: Scarlets TV via YouTube Julian Savea (NEW ZEALAND v France) It's all about the Dan Carter offload here as he draws in two men before superbly popping the ball back his winger to horse home. https://youtu.be/CqLOm67fdqc Credit: World Rugby via YouTube Julian Savea (NEW ZEALAND v France) "Ohhhh, he's done it again!" Superb aerial take from Ben Smith and quick transfer out to the big man on the left flank. Three huge fend-offs on his way to the tryline. Unstoppable. https://youtu.be/uPrVkerHbaA Credit: Sky Sport via YouTube Chris Ashton (SARACENS v Worcester) Hookers are not supposed to be this awesome. Schalk Britz starts a superb move with a lore-making line break. Charlie Hodgson times his pass superbly and Chris Ashton made the intelligent wraparound. Top team try.

What a try from Saracens. Started by an amazing run from Schalk Brits to set up Chris Ashton to score. pic.twitter.com/sTe08sR2Hy — EatSleepRugby (@eatsleeprugby) November 28, 2015

Close, but no cigar

Unfortunately for Simon Zebo and Ireland, here is one that was cruelly chalked off by that dastardly TMO. https://youtu.be/1oXLyYB5_tw Credit: Fantasy Rugger via YouTube
