Rugby's Most Impressive Solo Runs 

The Habana try is special to me for a couple of reasons: 1. Habana received the kick-off after he himself had just scored an excellent try in the corner. 2. I watched it live from Australia at 02:00am and woke the whole house up when he scored.

That run by Perry Baker... very nice to watch a good runner.

Love to see players beat a man with a side step or dummy… and when one player beats several players using trickery going half the pitch or more … that’s rugby magic.

Great video mate. You could have a whole video dedicated to Christian Cullen. He was unbelievably talented.

Mitchell's try against Clermont is my favorite. He beat 6 defenders for a solo try in a HCup final. The stage, the flair, it's a piece of art !

1:35 *Both teams* "Referee. We got a pb. We got similar jerseys. Which team takes the red one ?" *Referee* : "Yes."

Great tries, all of them - looking forward to the next instalment 😉

Some more Lomu, Hogg and Reiko Ioane belters out there, maybe for a part 2. Also highly recommend Rufus Maclean with a couple of his, and Matsushima as well (for Japan and one amazing one for clermont). Great to see some I hadn’t seen before!

The Habana try is pretty special as the kick-off that he fielded and scored from was the restart from a long range try in that very corner... scored a minute earlier by Bryan Habana.

That is a beauty of this sport!

As an young Irishman I was in awe of Cristian Cullen. Thinking back, I only actually got to see him in maybe 6 games due to game accessibility but I’m every game I saw, he just made some unbelievable line breaks. Only Lomu (a different type of player) could hold a candle to him.

I've known a few people that have Destroyed teams once or twice, but never consistent. The only names that did this on a regular was Jonah lomu and Rupens caucau. Those two are a league of their own. Legendary feats that I have not seen being replicated today. Edit: not forgetting Christian Cullen, the man was something else.

Some good memories there mate. Well done.

Considering I only vaguely understand the basics of rugby based upon some loose similarities to American Football, those were fun. Especially the guy who drop kicked a bounce back to himself and the skinny dude Baker undressing the whole opposing the team.

2:23 Cullen played like that with a wingsuit on

great tries- but what about the classic one in the very first match of the first world cup (1987)- John Kirwan ran through the whole Italian team by himself.

Cullen. Goosebumps.

I don’t follow the sport but these were fun to watch. Thanks.

35??!!! Nah man He was probably closer to 45 at that time. Absolute beast!!!

ty great collection, my fav Morrison, for reds v lions, 2:00 mark etc. i watched a few of them many times watching footwork and defence mistakes but some of those trys were unstoppable and against structured defence not quite capable of stopping some hell dude goin off.

I'm always surprised by Ashton's pace for that try against Australia. We could do with a bit of that this weekend for the decider.

1:28 this is a quality run , the way he kicked the ball over the defender, absolutely superb

Great to watch. Thanks

Ah, that's the legendary O'Arundell for the Irish side, Lonodn Irish! Reminiscent of the great Denis Hickie who ran in nearly all of his international tries from inside Ireland's 22 as I recall. Usually because that's where we'd been encamped for most of teh game...

I would add Nizaam Carr, last minute try Wasps vs Bristol Bears December 2019. Tackle me if you can. Even Charles Piutau can't take him. Still makes me smile every time I watch the try, started by Jimmy Gopperth dodging, stumbling left and right and all over to try to find a way through.

Christian Cullen is just brilliant!

No Lomu? No O'Driscoll? Shane Williams? Blanco? Larmour beating 5 Italians also springs to mind. Definitely enough out there for your to do another video.

Breathtaking!

I've seen a bunch of people say that Arundell is like Cullen, but to me he's far more like Jason Robinson. Odogwo is another player like that. Both have short, massive thighs, and powerful glutes. Shorter , rapid strides. They scoot around. Cullen was pretty skinny and had longer strides. More of a gliding style.

The pace of jason robinson was insane!!

1:16 That's pretty impressive for a front rower.

Great Video...just missing Cheslin Kolbe, Quad Cooper and more Barret. Barret has some awesome skill moments. Check out Kolbe 50m drop. Will fit well with the theme.

This was just AMAZING, even if I am not familiar with rugby as I am from Canada. 👍👍👍

Brilliant stuff.

Talebula deserves to be named here. He scored some tries with bordeaux !

Great video

Sho, that try by Habana. When God is playing for your side and the ball stays dead straight against all odds. 😅 Amazing!

Commentator 1..Barnes goes high and L o n g….Commentator 2. Too long! George North catches the ball and runs 40 metres to score. Great commentary.

Missing Kirwans against Italy, Campese even, but that england one on Wales was nice

Rugby union has to be the greatest game ever played!

3:35 and 3:40 He fools the TV director twice in one run!

Great tries 💪Rupeni Caucau tries missing...

Man it was awesome being a teenager in Wellington as Cullen burst on to the scene. Then Jonah signed for the 'Canes and together with Tana we had our magic back three. Such a great time, we grew up with them, they were peaking during our party years. We would see them around town. Especially Jonah. He would pull up to the video game parlour in his GTR.. All the kids would follow him as he played all the games he wanted then he would get like $200 worth of tokens and hand them out before he left. And when he left all the kids would scream to him to "blast those sounds Jonah!!"... He had an insane (record breaking I think) sound system in his car... He'd rev the engine then put on some gangsta shit and OMG the 5 story building was shaking it was so loud! He'd burn off and everyone that was left there, all the kids, the adults that gravitated in, everybody - was like DAYM!!!! GO JONAH!!

Fantastic ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nah Gio literally put the defender on his knees 😭😭 what a disgusting step

Most unlikely must be from the big man Whitelock.

Raka's try the most impressive in this video, he beat 9 players in that run..

One of the great individual tries i have seen recently , was by Chile's fly half Rodrigo Fernandez, during their 1st WC qualification match against the USA on July 9th this year. In pouring rain with mud up to the players boot laces , he took the ball about 70 yards out then proceeded to absolutely humiliate the USA, by scorching through over half the US team and scoring. If you do another video of individual tries , you have to include this absolute corker

You know there some unbelievable try bescored her but have to say as a springbok fan that try for Sam Whitelocks WOW just WOW

They are all great tries.It only shows what one player can do.I see that both teams have their players in lines,so that the ball can be passed from one player to another player.As shown in the video ,this is a weakness,I would say.

1.48 best try I've seen. That man's ready for a NRL contract possibly even making the Drafts 🏈

I have zero idea what's going on, but it looks awesome.

Every one of them a fabulous supply. But as maybe in only half of them was the player announced in the commentary … it would’ve been good if it was shown in a title, or they were listed in the description!!

Laumape destroying Beauden Barrett and wrecking Blues Super rugby team is one highlight.

That Baker try has to be up there as best of all time. The amount of footwork he had to put in. Obolensky status.

You could have chosen any of half a dozen tries by Cullen for this compilation.

Arundel. Try of the century

Agree you needed Lomu but also Shane Williams he could turn defenses inside out.

No one of caucaunibuca?

You could've done the whole video on Christian Cullen haha

Great compilation, there's a few I hadn't seen there. A few classics you could add for part 2: 1) Lomu obviously. 2)John Kirwin 1987 WC vs italy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tzb55_PVvRw.html 3) Serge blanco vs Australia ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ii7X0dJYFV4.html 4) John Bentley for the 97 Lions vs Gauteng Lions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hKMn1C_YrDQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2pBpxvujgUk.html

Il manque le plus fabuleux d'entre tous : Chabal !

3:16 should be a red - sliding in knee first on Folau who is diving in to score. See it all the time and it's ridiculous it's not cracked down on.

Good video

You forgot about the BEST.. Rupeni Caucaunibuca ( Northland/ Blues & Fiji)

no one beats Caucau from Fiji

My favourite is LOMU’s try when he stepped over GB’s WILLKINSON!

Amazing

Cullen made it look so effortless that he looked bored at times scoring length of the field tries

absolute warriors

DUDE..rugby is a grown mans sport

Thank's

The Paekākāriki express makes it look like a stroll in the park.

Jeezusss 🔥 7:10

1:34 with the steez. I don't watch rugby but he caught his opponent lackin

forgot when Dan Carter single handed demolished the B&I Lions

if you haven't already watch Rufus Mcleans solo try, freighting!!!!!!!!

Habana..definitely one of the great tries..of any era.

Gawd, I miss eing young. When I was ruggin' it was the most fun I ever had. Traveling to other places, knocking down men, then getting pissed drunk and hitting on their girlfriends. Rugby, Racin' and Beer.

Rugby is like each side has 15 running backs.

C'est beau le rugby...😀😀😀😀

I was confident I'd see a lot of Beauden Barret here

0:49 I don't know French.. But I know EXACTLY what he is saying

No John Kirwan vs Italy?!?

MEME pas un du stade toulousain alors qu il y en a beaucoup le dernier de dupont

Must admit to not being a fan of Rugby....what i just witnessed blew my mind...

When was the last one

First clip is an example on why you don't tackle high

Rugby reminds me of the game we used to play as kids. Kill the Guy with the Ball I wish American Football was like this

The greatest individual try ever was John Kirwan vs Italy, 1987. Look it up on RU-vid.

Did i miss Lomu ? didnt see him in here

Muy bueno pero si entra se ven faltan los de Marcos Monetta

Wesley Fofana Twickenham 2013 ? Drew Mitchell RWC 2015 ?

How about Marcus Smith's ridiculous solo try against Leinster (I think?)

3:47 damn he has long legs

You could just do a compilation of Jason Robinson and Shane Williams

Capuezzo ?

Where’s lomu 👀👀

think Zebo held Lamour up there

I would have had something like Cullen, Cullen, Cullen, Lomu, Cullen, Lomu Lomu then the rest
