Empowering ambition<br />
on and off the field<br />
If exceptional tries are what you like, you can<br />
always count on ASM Clermont Auvergne wing,<br />
Damian Penaud, to deliver. Fans witnessed<br />
some great scores in Round 1 of the Heineken<br />
Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup<br />
including Penaud’s spectacular effort against<br />
Ulster Rugby.<br />
“Great break from JJ Hanrahan to expose the<br />
opposition front row and beat him one-on-one,<br />
followed by a perfectly-timed pass to Penaud,<br />
who has the kick accuracy, speed and a worldclass<br />
finish to score a superb try,” was how BT<br />
Sport’s Sam Waburton described the score.<br />
Warburton’s verdict, combined with the public’s<br />
votes, determined the winner, and although<br />
Penaud fully deserved the accolade, it was<br />
a close call between his effort and Anthony<br />
Jelonch’s memorable try for Stade Toulousain<br />
against Cardiff Rugby.<br />
For the sixth season in a row, the Try of the<br />
Round activation is launched on the Monday<br />
after each round, and fans will also be able to<br />
vote for the Try of the Season immediately after<br />
the Finals Weekend next May.<br />
Cheslin Kolbe won the award for the best try<br />
last season, Juan Imhoff topped the poll in<br />
2019/20, then it was Maxime Médard in 2018/19,<br />
Tadhg Beirne in 2017/18, and first of all, Nick<br />
Abendanon back in 2016/17.<br />
Who will succeed all these great names of<br />
European club rugby? You can make the<br />
difference by voting for your favourite!<br />
