Great moment. That was about as gripping a sporting series, as I've ever seen.

Matt Dawson breaking out round the side of the ruck in the first test in South Africa, and evading a few South African dives, before putting the Lions ahead.

Jonah Lomu trampling on Mike Catt's face on the way to the tryline, during the 95 World Cup, when he was completely unplayable.

England winning the Ashes in 2005

Goran Ivanisevic's Wimbledon win, even though I wasn't a big fan of his.

Struggling to think of another. Maybe Scott Gibbs try in the last minute against England at Wembley, to beat England, as well as hand as the five nations.
