English term or phrase: set up a try

In the 2005 grand final, a brilliant behind-the-back pass to Pat Richards by which player set up a Tigers try?

It is Rugby sport. The team they are talking about is Wests Tigers.

Thanks in advance,

In this specific case it looks like a quiz question and they're asking who passed the ball behind his back to allow Pat Richards to ground the ball over the line and thus score a try.

agree

philgoddard: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Try_(rugby) - so called because it gives you a try at kicking a goal and scoring more points.

-> thanks for agree Phil but we're only at the try score stage in this and not yet at the conversion kick through the posts for more points stage

agree

Petrus Maritz: you have the try scorer, and the one whose action(s) led to the try, ie made it happen

9 mins

-> thanks Petrus and must have been a cute move

agree

Jennifer Levey: And if it had been a soccer match, it would have been an 'assist' (= last pass before a goal) - http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/Stats_Manuals/Soccer/2009ez.pd...

Yvonne Gallagher: Originally meant giving the right to try for a goal but not any more. A try now the grounding of ball
