All Blacks halfback TJ Perenara has been nominated for the try of the year at this year's World Rugby Awards for his stunning effort against Namibia in the Rugby World Cup.

World Rugby revealed the four tries shortlisted for this year's award with three of them coming out of the World Cup and a fourth by Sergio Parisse during an Italy Test against Russia.

Springboks halfback Cobus Reinach's third try in his hat-trick performance against Canada and Charles Ollivon's finish against Wales in the quarter-finals were the other two tries nominated.

Perenara's play included a linebreak, an impressive diving pass, an around-the-back offload from Brad Weber and a diving finish in the corner - all enough to even get a fist pump out of coach Steve Hansen.
