IRELAND’S JAMIE HEASLIP has won IRPA Try of the Year at the annual World Rugby Awards after topping a public vote online.
The sensational Irish team try against Italy in the Six Nations beat efforts by Japan’s Kaito Shigeno and New Zealand scrum-half TJ Perenara.
No fewer than six Irish players were involved in the 80-yard break before Heaslip held off two Italian defenders to apply the finishing touch.
Heaslip is also shortlisted for World Rugby Player of the Year, with the winner due to be announced later on Sunday night.

There has to be a glass ceiling in terms of how much training these amateur players with day jobs can do. Of course for the outside paid manager the more training sessions the better.
Karma,for what? Being the best team in the country? Long may it continue indeed!
That first paragraph is very misleading
Ands it’s going to become more and more common when you hear some of the training county teams are doing. And of course that has the effect of minor players starting weights earlier to ‘bulk’ up.
It’s karma and long may it continue
