Australian legend Michael Lynagh has called the try he scored against Ireland in the 1991 Rugby World Cup quarter final as "the best moment of my career". 

"I'm always going to be linked with Gordon Hamilton, and his try, and mine about four minutes later. It's something that I am very proud of, to have steered the team in the right direction. For the team, it was a realisation that this was a pretty special group of people. We went on to beat the All Blacks a week later, and then England in the final".

Former Ireland captain Keith Wood was in the studio with Lynagh last night. He called the moment where the Australian scored the try in Lansdowne Road as "one of the most bizarre silences in sport". 

Lynagh was in studio last night on Off the Ball to talk to Ger Gilroy about his new book Blindsided which chronicles his recovery from a stroke in 2012. You can listen to the interview below.
