When you look at the other 3 candidates
https://www.theoffsideline.com/duhan-van-der-merwe-makes-shortlist-for-world-rugby-try-of-the-year/

The Fiji one against Georgia is messy and the Keenan one is only impressive because it's a prop that throws the key pass. 

The France try form their own 22 that goes through a few sets of hands is the only other real contender.

But if you were going to give it to a great team effort as opposed to an individual moment of brilliance then Duhan's second try against England would have to be in consideration

Updated rankings, England reaping the benefit of all those games against lower ranked teams.

 

They weren't lower ranked before the world cup. Seven weeks ago Fiji and Argentina were ranked above them and now they're not, so their ranking has shot up by 5.5

Scotland have only dropped by just over half a point (0.58) which basically means that our two games against good sides were seen as being slightly more competitively balanced than our two games against bad sides but basically the results don't change anybody's view of how good or bad this Scotland side is

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Eddie Jones steps down as Australia head coach, although in usual Eddie form he is managing to hang it out for almost a month before he officially goes.

On the news tonight they were talking about compensation. So you're shit at your job, resign, and you get paid for the remainder of your contract?

So next Lions tour, the cream of the teams ranked 2, 5, 6 & 8 will join together to take on the team ranked 9

Could be quite embarrassing for the locals. And I'd expect the majority of the crowds to be supporting the Lions.

All the idiots who binned Dave Rennie in favour of Eddie should be following him out the door tbh

Probably easy enough to discount Scotland players since its based on their performances on Lions tours and he never fucking picked any to go on tour in the first place. Knob.

There are few things that will make me cheer a South African victory but if turning that bunch over might just do it.
