WATCH: The undisputed try of the year that went completely under the radar
When people think of the try of the year, they would usually expect it to be scored by the All Blacks, maybe Leinster or probably England- very few would have thought it would come from the Zions Bank Stadium in Utah. But you would have a tough time trying to find a better try than the one scored by the Utah Warriors earlier this year.
The try was scored in March in Major League Rugby, but did not necessarily receive the fanfare it deserved, but Rugby Onslaught are here to make sure it gets the warranted recognition.
Outside centre Mika Kruse produced a finish against the Toronto Arrows which was simply world class after catching a cross-field kick from Joel Hodgson one handed. As good as the finish was, the build up play was equally as incredible, as Utah worked they way up field with some deft handling after taking a kick off in their own 22.
