All Blacks players Beauden Barrett and Brodie Retallick

Tries from All Blacks players, Beauden Barrett and Brodie Retallick have been included in the four finalists for the International Rugby Players Try of the Year award.

The All Blacks tries began with turnovers deep in their team's own half with Retallick and Barrett the finishers, with the others scored by Ireland number eight CJ Stander and Scotland's New Zealand born winger Sean Maitland.

Barrett, the 2016 and 2017 World Rugby Men's 15s Player of the Year, is bidding to become the first player to win the Try of the Year award twice after receiving it in 2013 for his try against France.

Retallick's try was in the first Bledisloe Cup Test in Sydney when he threw a dummy and Barrett's try was in the second Bledisloe Cup test at Eden Park when he was at the end of a sweeping move.

The winner will be announced at the World Rugby Awards in Monte Carlo on 25 November.
