It was a shame that Bill McClaren wasn’t on comms but Cliff Morgan was a bloody good sub.

Shame I remembered it as a brilliant try but it was clearly forward. Otherwise outstanding

He certainly had a lot of former pupils who became rugby players

@MiketheSnow Sorry mate, no way was it 50 years ago, I was already living with wife with a son and remember watching the game at my brothers place in Wellington. Geez that would make me old!!!!!
F*** it was a brilliant game, so many magical players in Baabaas. -
There was some average tackling back then.

He had an extensive effect on Welsh rugby, the brilliance of his playing, the ongoing involvement in the game, his teaching, commentary.

F*** it was a brilliant game, so many magical players in Baabaas.Delayed . Unsure when live uk games were first shown in NZ. I think I listened to the game live on the radio and missing the first 20 minutes due to technical issues. But my memory might be faulty
Then watched the game later on tv when the tape turned up
Unsure if my recollection is right or not

Think the first one was that unofficial match v Wales, which I think was 1974. (NZ were touring Ireland for their Centenary, but added a match because, you know, Wales.)

@Winger I pretty sure that was live Winger, sure I remember watching it in middle of night. Might be remembering wrong, but I also seem to remember watching at least the Wales test in middle of night at brothers as I don't think me and Mrs had tv. Mind you it could of been next year when Boo says, all those years kind of blend into one now.
I do remember when home tests were broadcast, they weren't allowed to be advertised or put in paper etc, supposedly to keep crowds going. TV page in paper would just have a gap for 2 hours on a Saturday. Lol
