Cheslin Kolbe last season, Juan Imhoff in 2019/20<br />

and Maxime Médard in 2018/19. Consider the<br />

star quality of the last three overall winners of<br />

the <strong>Champions</strong> Try of the Round and you know<br />

that the competition to find the best try of this<br />

<strong>Heineken</strong> <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Cup</strong> season will feature<br />

some of the biggest names in the world game.<br />

Kolbe’s was awarded the accolade in 2020/21<br />

for a breathtaking score against <strong>Ulster</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong> in<br />

Round 1. Taking a pass from Thomas Ramos, the<br />

former Stade Toulousain wing beat two <strong>Ulster</strong><br />

defenders, kicked over another and collected<br />

after two bounces to slide over the whitewash in<br />

remarkable fashion.<br />

Fans were given the opportunity to vote for<br />

the best tries selected from Rounds 1 and 2,<br />

the Round of 16, the quarter-finals, as well as<br />

Juan Cruz Mallia’s score during the final at<br />

Twickenham, before Kolbe emerged as the<br />

overall winner.<br />

Last season, the <strong>Champions</strong> Try of the Round<br />

competition was largely dominated by players<br />

from TOP 14 clubs. What will happen this<br />

season? Which outstanding players will make<br />

the difference? Which tries will get the fans’ vote<br />

along with the verdict of a panel of renowned<br />

rugby experts.<br />

Each Monday following match weekends, a<br />

shortlist of five tries will be selected by EPCR<br />

and opened to public vote with fans having the<br />

chance to win some great prizes.<br />

This will be the perfect opportunity to watch<br />

the best <strong>Heineken</strong> <strong>Champions</strong> <strong>Cup</strong> tries over<br />

and over again and to vote for The One to Win.<br />
