@MN5 That was also a great one, absolutely no argument with it and don't really want to even say one was better, from diffeent eras , but still (like many other tries) really show the breathtaking skills/running etc that we all love in the game.

I don't drink whiskey (or any top shelf) but tempted to just buy a bottle anyway.

@MN5 I was on the terraces for that. You could see the try was on from the moment the French received the kick.

I don’t drink whiskey either but I love whisky.

There was some average tackling back then.

Some nice head highs though

That's part of the averageness

No one of reasons it was such a good game, it was played under the laws of the game as they were interpretated in 1973, not in 2023! So won't average at all!

See any of those who watched game know there was no lifting in lineout, jacklers etc etc. All great games of rugby are great because players play to laws of the day!

@Dan54 not sure what that has to do with my comment on tackling

[Dan54]

@antipodean sorry mate it was in reply to the so called averageness of game, because of the so called head highs.

They might have been acceptable in the day, but they're definitely not so called head highs.

Apart from Phil Bennet's pasadoble at the beginning, which is true magic, it's a pretty bog standard try.

[Dan54]

@dogmeat understand what you saying dog, all I meant is exactly what you said, it was acceptable in the day, and that's when the game was played, in the day.
