With just over a month until the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals, we look back at the six tries still in contention for Champions Try of the Season. Remember, you can vote for the try of the knockout rounds after the conclusion of the semi-finals and have the chance to win a top rugby prize. James Lowe – Leinster Rugby (Round 1) One of Leinster Rugby’s eight tries in the opening round of the Heineken Champions Cup picked up the first Try of the Round award for 2018-19, as the second of James Lowe‘s brace against Wasps was the selection of beIN SPORTS‘ Dimitri Yachvili. Yachvili said: “It was a magnificent team effort from the Irish. They are constantly on the front foot and they play so accurately with the bonus of the pass between the legs from Johnny Sexton. It had everything.” [jwplayer EYBdTCud] Maxime Medard – Toulouse (Round 2) More than 1,100 fans took part in the public vote for the second Champions Try of the Round competition of the season and the majority agreed with BT Sport’s Ugo Monye that Maxime Médard’s crucial score for Toulouse against Leinster Rugby should take the honours. Monye said: “This was try of the weekend, not just for the skills displayed, but for the moment and the occasion too. Maxime Médard, a Toulouse and rugby legend, has started the campaign in scintillating form.” [jwplayer uIkjCmuW] Matthew Morgan – Cardiff Blues (Round 3) Matthew Morgan’s sensational solo try for Cardiff Blues in their Pool 3 match away to Saracens scooped the Try of the Round award for Round 3 in the Heineken Champions Cup.
