Video: Top 5 Super Rugby tries – round 8

(Photosport)

Israel Dagg was back with a bang as he scored twice in the Crusaders win over the Jaguares.

The man hoping his last impression for the All Blacks won't be an Air New Zealand safety video was in fine form and his solo effort has people chatting about a comeback.

Another man hoping for a call from Steve Hansen is All Blacks fringe outsider Cory Jane.

The Hurricanes winger can give himself a pat on the back for his try against the Melbourne Rebels, but he'll be looking over his shoulder at catching a glimpse of the chasing pack.

Among those hopeful wingers is 19-year-old Rieko Ioane who seems to have the rugby world at his feet, whether it is in 15s or 7-a-side.

Ioane's late try helped the Blues over the Sharks and keep them in touching distance in the New Zealand Conference.

Tries of the week wouldn't be complete without an entry from Sergeal Petersen as his Cheetahs racked up 92 points on the Sunwolves.
