Highlights from rugby, cricket and league dominate the list of contenders for the Radio Sport Sporting Moment award at the Halbergs.

A list of 10 has been selected from which the public can vote to decide the winner.

Scintillating World Cup moments - Grant Elliott's six in the cricket semi-final and Beauden Barrett's winning try in the rugby final - are two of the contenders.

Ross Taylor's 290 against Australia and Richie McCaw becoming the most capped test rugby player at Eden Park last year are also in the mix.

The Kiwis winning the ANZAC test for the first time in 17 years and Nathan Friend's back flip to set up a try for the Warriors are rugby league's candidates.
