Best Last-Minute Rugby Tries | Incredible Finishes After 79 Minutes

One last phase. One last chance. Sixteen late rugby tries, all scored from 79:00 onward or in regulation injury time. Relive Ryan Crotty against Ireland, Karne Hesketh in Japan's famous win over South Africa, Duhan van der Merwe in Paris, Brice Dulin against Wales, Malakai Fekitoa in Brisbane, Bongi Mbonambi in France, Max Jorgensen at Twickenham and Hugo Keenan for the Lions. Cobus Reinach, Kwagga Smith and Bryan Habana add more late finishes alongside Premiership rugby. These are not all match-winning tries. Some extended an existing lead; Smith's try was a consolation. Crotty and France in 2017 drew level before later conversions won their matches. Fekitoa's try brought New Zealand within one point before Colin Slade's winning conversion. George Ford's try and the conversion that followed rescued a draw for England. Which finish deserves the top spot?
