The try that ignited Bok rugby after 20 months

It was the try of the season, the try of the year or the try of the tour.

Pick one and you realise just how good Lukhanyo Am’s score was. It was nominated by World Rugby for the try of the year and it certainly rates as one of the best ever scored in a Lions Series.

It was the try that ignited Springbok Rugby after 20 months on the sidelines, simple as that.

Given the background - the lack of training, the Springboks’ Covid woes and the fact that most of the squad were cleared days before the SA A game against the Lions, the moment was even more magical.

So sit back and relive it in two ways - with the English commentary and then in the heart-thumping, passion of Xhosa commentary.

It’s worth watching again and again and again. Take a bow Cheslin Kolbe and Lukhanyo Am, the try is pure gold.
