I reckon you have to take several factors into account when deciding on what might be the top few tries: skill factor, game situation, game importance, amount of time left in game. So the following few I reckon are among the best I've seen:
1990 Ashes game 2 Meninga try - Stuart threw the intercept which led to Britain leading the match - a pretty amazing redemption from deep inside Aussies territory and not long left on the clock. In terms of the amount of pressure Australia would have been under this might be the best ever.
1994 Coyne State of Origin 1 - people would have remembered this one if it was scored in the first minute of Gold Coast vs South Queensland. For it to happen in the 79th minute of an Origin with the game on the line was nothing short of a miracle!
1997 Albert grand final try - an easy enough run for Albert, but the play by Andrew Johns to go blindside when everyone was expecting another field goal attempt puts it in the upper echelons.
1999 Terry Hill vs Brisbane - a struggling Manly side knocking off a Brisbane side on a roll. Another try that would be remembered no matter who scored it and when, amazing strength shown by Hill (and I don't like the guy much, either!). The importance of the game is probably weaker than the other three, though.
