In looking for something else I came across the following memorabilia piece and thought it would make a good poll.
Of the seven moments below, which do you rate as THE defining moment of the decade?

Defining Moments In Australian Rugby 1991-2001
Lynagh's match-winning try
In the World Cup quarterfinal, Michael Lynagh single-handedly snatches the game away from the Irish with a try created from sheer willpower.
Campese's miracle pass
In the World Cup semi-final, David Campese twists the All Black defence in and out, then throws a bold, brilliant 'no-look' pass to send Tim Horan in for a decisive try.
Gregan's match-saving tackle
Four minutes left on the clock, and an All Black Bledisloe Cup-winning try seems a certainty… until a young George Gregan comes to the rescue, with a ball-popping, eye-popping tackle.
Larkham's unforgettable drop goal
Deep into extra time in a World Cup semi-final with the scores welded together, and Steve Larkham chooses this moment to try his first drop-goal in international Rugby. A very good choice, as he puts Australia back on the road to ultimate glory 1 week later.
Eales' Bledisloe-winning penalty
Another Bledisloe cliffhanger. Time has run out… Australia are 2 points adrift… and the regular kicker is off the field. Miss the attempt, and lose the Cup. Make the kick, and win the Cup. Up steps John Eales…
Mortlock's Tri-Nations clincher
In an almost identical situation to the Eales kick 3 weeks prior, Australia's choices are again, simple: miss the kick, lose the Tri Nations Cup - slot the kick, and win it. However,.. regular kicker Stirling Mortlock is ON the field this time.
Harrison's Lions line-out steal
Playing in his first Test, and with the series teetering on the next passage of play, Justin Harrison makes a crucial steal from a rampaging Lions team, and makes the game… and the series, safe for Australia.
