62. Game One, 1994: Mark Coyne’s miracle last-minute try
Who better than Ray Warren, the voice of rugby league, to sum up Origin's most replayed moment? "That's not a try, that's a miracle!" bellowed Rabbs as Mark Coyne slid through two defenders to score one of the greatest tries in the game's history. Down 12-4 with five minutes remaining, Queensland first drew within striking distance through a try from winger Willie Carne, before pulling out one last desperate play that went through eight pairs of hands, worked its way from one sideline to the other and back again before culminating in Coyne's iconic touchdown with seconds left on the clock to give the Maroons an astounding 16-12 win in front of over 40,000 gobsmacked NSW fans.
