Ben Youngs' excellent solo effort  For Leicester Tigers against Bath at the weekend was voted Aviva Premiership Try of the Week for Round 21.

Youngs, a solid contender for a Lions berth, will have impressed Warren Gatland with his pace and quick thinking as he caught Bath off guard with a quick-tap penalty, then sprinted 80m. 

It is the fifth time in the last six rounds that Try of the Week has gone to the Tigers.

    17s - If Bakkies Botha entered a ruck like that he would get a 5 week ban and Leicester's coach would shit a brick!!!

    nap time for the bath players, nice sprint but it was really a big lapse in defense, i guess though one could say that part of the beauty of this try is setting it up to look like you are going to play it slow and then bam! full throttle acceleration.

    Don't find this a particularly amazing try.

    Croft - Tackler has 15.4[c] rights to the ball.
    Agulla - doesn't join the ruck legally 16.2[b]
    Flood - you're correct he's not supporting his body weight 15.6[a] but it's such a fraction of a second that he gets away with it.

    What was the full back doing, to be run around like that !

    I'm surprised that professional rugby players would turn their backs like that after a penalty was given.
