The “Greatest Try” refers to a famous try scored during a rugby union match between the New Zealand national team, known as the All Blacks, and the Barbarians invitational team in 1973. This match is widely regarded as one of the greatest games of rugby ever played.
The try was scored by the Barbarians team and is often considered one of the finest team tries in rugby history. It involved a series of intricate and skillful passes, with players running from deep within their own half to score a try at the other end of the field. The try showcased the Barbarians’ attacking flair and ability to play open, expansive rugby.
The match itself ended with a victory for the Barbarians, with a final score of 23-11. However, it is the quality of the rugby played, particularly exemplified by the “Greatest Try,” that has made this match legendary in the history of the sport.
