It's Beauden Barrett vs Brodie Retallick. The two All Blacks have both been nominated for the World Rugby's try of the year award.

They are up against Ireland's CJ Stander and Scotland winger Sean Maitland.

Barrett won the award in 2013.

Barrett's nominated try, one of his seven he's scored this year, came in the second Bledisloe Cup test at Eden Park. With 12 minutes to go Retallick stripped Australia prop Tom Robertson in the New Zealand 22 and quickly offloaded to TJ Perenara.

The scrum-half found Damian McKenzie and the replacement set off on the counter-attack, beating two defenders in a 30-metre burst before offloading to Anton Lienert-Brown on his outside. Lienert-Brown took it over halfway before releasing Ben Smith, who had Beauden Barrett on his outside, the fly-half stepping inside Marika Koroibete and then diving over to score his fourth try in the match, minutes after having another try ruled out.

Retallick's effort also came against the Wallabies.

The All Blacks lock sold Bernard Foley an outrageous dummy and ran in from nearly 30 metres during the first test in Sydney, finishing off a great team try.

Maitland's nominated try came in the Six Nations clash against England as did Stander's.

I vote Jordie Barrett for his long, exquisitely accurate pass to Willie le Roux.

The two NH efforts look like a coupla cow-cockies schlumping through cow-shit in gumboots on a rainy day .

BB or Retallick either will be better than the ponderous NH efforts.

Those are the options for best try of the year? Must have been a very boring year. All I saw was standard running rugby tries. Most created by a single good line break. My call, the Irish try, because at least there was some clever and unpredictable passing. No offense to the NZ'ers, but both the NZ tries were run of the mill long range NZ tries. And before those of you that are too sensitive to be objective get offended, I am forever singing NZ's praises, so sit back down .

Total BS.

Dyanti's chip and chase try was miles better than any of these. From his own 22, nobody got a finger on him.

You're welcome.

PS: it says international player try of the the year...Not test try of the year
