The victor, though, will be determined by guests at the World Rugby Awards at Battersea Evolution in London on November 1, who will be able to view the shortlisted tries and register their votes during dinner with the accolade presented later in the evening.

Japan’s World Cup hero Ayumu Goromaru is also in the worldwide Rugby Players Association contest for his try in the landmark win over South Africa at the start of the World Cup.

Savea will feature in the final where the All Blacks play the Wallabies at Twickenham.

Savea’s two tries came in contrasting in style.

The tries were judged by a panel of former players, including former All Blacks fullback Christian Cullen, Ireland’s Shane Horgan, Serge Betsen of France and South Africa’s Stefan Terblanche.

The second had the monster wing charge through three French defenders to nail a try that Jonah Lomu would have been proud of.

Debaty’s try is another from the RBS Six Nations, scored in France’s game against England.

DESPITE THE FACT that the most important game of the last four years is just days away, World Rugby just couldn’t wait any longer before revealing the six contenders for 2015 IRPA World Rugby Try of the Year.

Ireland gave Wales a right hammering when the sides met in their first World Cup warm-up game in Cardiff this summer, but the Welsh did have a score to remember, with Justin Tipuric finishing after this great series of offloads.
