The eir Sport Try of the Season for the 2020/21 Guinness PRO14 campaign has been won by Munster Rugby’s JJ Hanrahan.
The on-air panel from eir Sport’s rugby coverage – Tommy Bowe, Peter Stringer and Gordon D’Arcy – selected Hanrahan’s try which followed some spell-binding off-loading play against Cardiff Blues during the first-ever Monday Night Rugby game in Round 3.
The Munster playmaker kicked off the move and after three consecutive off-loads Hanrahan got his hands on the ball again to cross over. All 12 clubs who competed in the 2020/21 Guinness PRO14 campaign submitted their team’s try of the season for the panel of former internationals to consider and, ultimately, it was the mix of skill and team play that earned the award for Hanrahan’s score.
