Top 10 tries of the Six Nations 2009

The 2009 RBS Six Nations is now a thing of the past, so as Ireland bathe in the success of their Grand Slam, it's time for us to reflect on some of the Championship's stand out tries, from all teams involved.

Over the last few weeks we’ve seen some memorable moments from all sides, and starting off the compilation is the man who some say might lead the Lions in South Africa – Brian O’Driscoll.

His return to form has been sensational to see. BOD is now reaching the heights and success he’s always aimed for, and always been good enough to achieve. His try against France looked like the legend of yesteryear, as he showed that he’s still got it.

Fellow countryman, eighthman Jamie Heaslip scored a cracking try in the same match, with an even more audacious step to finish. He himself is one of the new breed of Irish stars, so expect to see plenty of him in the future.

Scotland’s Max Evans scored a great try against Wales, Riki Flutey scored two against France, the second of which was setup excellently by Delon Armitage, and then at the top of the list we see Francois Trinh-Duc with a great individual effort in Italy.

A few lovely tries, some great memories, and an enjoyable 2009 Six Nations Championship, even if you’re not Irish.


Time: 05:25
Note: The order of the tries seems fairly random. You decide for yourself which are your top 3.

  • What about Parisse try against France, and Harinordoquy's try against Ireland?

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 12:13 pm  

  • I'm from France and want to be pro France. But true these two tries are missing I think.

  • How can there not be the french try against Ireland, it was 10 times better than th BOD one !!!
    Frickin BBC propaganda

  • whar about harinordoquy try against ireland!! I think the best try of the tournament !!!

  • Tommy Bowe was lucky not to get smashed when he took the ball for his try....awesome try though

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 12:49 pm  

  • I was thinking about the try from Heymans against Wales... I wonder why it's not there.

    Heaslip and Parisse are the two best 8's in Europe right now.

    By Blogger salem_ok, at March 24, 2009 12:52 pm  

  • I think that there's another English try against France who deserved better, and also Chabal's try vs Italy. It's a pity that the Heaslip vs France try isn't showed from a moment earlier, as there was a great break leading up to the try.

    My favourite three in these ten? The two by Heaslip (the one with the Stringer break winning) and the Leigh Halfpenny try, with that magnificent dodging and passing by Shane Williams

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 1:22 pm

  • What was for you the most beautiful match in this 6 Nations 2009?

    Personnaly, i couldn't watch the 4th day.... so i would say Ireland vs. France (very intense with a real desire to play)

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 1:37 pm  

  • For me the best try of the tournament is not in these ten... this is Harinordoquy's try against Ireland, and by far!
    Fuck off BBC, fukin biased with those ridiculous flutey's tries

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 1:45 pm  

  • HARINORDOQUY'S TRY IS NOT IN THE TOP 10 ???????????
    HAHAHA FUCKING BBC YOU TWATS

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 1:58 pm  

  • 1. O'Driscoll vs France.
    2. Flutey's 2nd vs France.
    3. Bowe vs Wales.

  • "Tommy Bowe was lucky not to get smashed when he took the ball for his try....awesome try though"

    If it were anyone other than Henson, I'd suspect that he would've been.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 3:40 pm  

  • What happend to Danielli's try that he scored againest Italy!! That was just like Fluty's try it was a set peace off the top of the line out it was ace!! I also think Thom Evans try should be in there just to show you how easy it is you can score if you make the right pass!!! it was just a little inside ball!!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 3:43 pm  

  • some great tries, about the order, im pretty sure it just went in order of the games, rather than some of the best, but my favorite game was definitely the french-irish game, so much intensity!

  • I'm fond of the 2 ricky flutey tries, well built and french flair
    What else?

    Where is harinordoquy try vs Ireland!? It was far the best team try of the tournament. BBC..

    Andy goode pass to Sackey vs Wales was also far better than Ronan one in final match

    By Blogger Flooz, at March 24, 2009 4:16 pm  

  • There's a Worsley foul on the first flootey's try.....aaahhhhhh the BBC objectivity as usual,you'll never find an italian try with those guys.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 5:53 pm  

  • 1- BOD vs France
    2- Heaslip vs Scotland (just loved Stringer in that one)
    3- Byrne vs France

    Parisse? Harinordoquy?
    BBC biased as usual!!!

  • garçon apprend l'anglais, je te fais une traduction de ce que le mec contre qui tu t'énerves a dit, pauvre tâche :

    "merde, la moitié de ces essais on été marqués contre la france

    ps: je suis d'accord à propos de l'essai de Hari contre l'Irlande : 11 français ont touché le ballon!"

    C'est toi le petit, tu t'énerves contre un gars qui est d'accord avec toi, faut apprendre à parler anglais avant de s'énerver! T'es vraiment qu'une grosse merde mon pote, tu fais honte à la France!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 7:33 pm  

  • I think its an all irish affair here.

    Heaslip vs france because hes a forward doing stuff most of the backs can and the lead up break was fantastic with Kearney and Bowe.

    Bowe vs Wales because the chip was phenomenal and the pace to beat last years player of the year

    Heaslip vs Scotland because of the unreal break by Stringer and the vision to find someone else and if that was someone like a certain
    S. Williams he would have tried to do it on his own like he tried to do against Wales???

    this is from an englishman here

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 9:50 pm  

  • 1st prize=Lee byrne
    2nd prize = heslip=
    3rd prize = BOD


    last was deffo tommie bowz
    try

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 10:01 pm  

  • Although Stringer did well to find the space for the break, he was helped massively by the fact that Scotland's openside was instructed to target O'Gara which left a massive gap at the back of the lineout when others didn't fill in.
    Some good tries this six nations, very enjoyable to see a combination of high tempo work from the pack and good running rugby in the backline. I agree that Danielli's try, Parisse's (who had a solid six nations), Harinordoquy's and Chabal's tries warrant a place up there with some of the better tries of the tournament.

    but out of this my favorites are the o'driscoll, flutey, bowe and max evans

    Brilliant tries

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 24, 2009 10:54 pm

  • How can anyone say these tries are amazing? Maybe O'driscolls against france but the others were shit.
    Average tries from an average 6 nations, nothing will top shane williams efforts last year. .

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 25, 2009 2:54 am  

  • Bowe seriously burned Williams, it was basically from a standing start too

    Is Bowe faster than the Williams? Thoughts?

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 25, 2009 3:40 am  

  • mightyallblacks
    I'm an ABs fan too but I don't know why you have to be abusive. A good try is a good try and is not shit just because it might not be amazing. All these are good tries and some are better than that, nothing to get abusive about.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 25, 2009 6:25 am  

  • It's more complicated than just who's faster.
    Some players are faster over distance, some have better acceleration. If you have to turn and chase a player that'll make it very hard to catch up with a guy at full speed, even just starting a sprint from a standing start will make it harder.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 25, 2009 7:47 am  

  • Flutey's 2nd try was very good but I have no idea why the first one is in there in place of Harinordoquy and Parisse's tries.

    Plus, anybody see the try from France-Italy that Medard finished after offloading to Dusautoir? That one was awesome.

    The Halfpenny try was alright but not one of the tournament's best imo. Tommy Bowe definitely deserves to be there if only for the amazing effect that try had on the final climactic game. Overall it was a pretty good 6N.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 25, 2009 8:01 am  

  • mightyallblacks please don't watch our tournament if you're just going to be a prat about it. They are pretty good tries considering the defences were solid all tournament. Conecentrate on your own shite competition which nobody gives a toss about. I don't watch it and and therefore i don't make stupid comments about it.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 25, 2009 9:50 am  

  • These tries are pretty good, not heaps of passing but some well taken tries.
    But that shite competiton you talk about has the world champions and the top three sides in the world in it, so if it's shite, what does that make the 6 nations? Extra shite?

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at March 25, 2009 3:45 pm  

  • Mighty Allblacks - i think you'll find it was more closely contested. Awesome defences which unfortunately meant not spectacular tries but it was a great six nations in terms of passion and atmoshere.

I know it's BBC so it can't be pro-Ireland in a nationalist sense, but Trinh-Duc's try for France is pathetically boring and definitely not the best one, it seems as if all the tries are scored against France, and what about Parisse's try against -I'll let you guess- France!
