Cheers, I was rushing and the youtube title was wrong. It's a correct video now
For some reason world rugby took down lots of their videos of the old tournaments. Very few highlights compared to a few years ago
For this game I could only find a shitty upload of the full match, no highlights

From a Scottish pov the only dour game was the semi v England at Murrayfield. The Scots had breezed through the home pool games inc Ireland, and scored 17 tries in the process. S tries saw off Western Samoa in the QF, but a dour slugfest v England and that (in)famous Hastings missed pen in front of the posts saw them slip up making the final. It was a bit of revenge for England after the 1990 Grand Slam.

My lasting memory is the quarter final between Ireland and the Wallabies. The belief and execution to score at the death had me convinced they would win it.

Obviously for an Englishman, Big Gav missing that kick was great, but seeing the poor guy's post match interview was hard going. So much emotion.

A wee bit before 1991 but just shows how much quicker the game flowed along in those days not to mention how much smaller players were before they became gym bunnies. The game seemed to move along at quicker tempo than it does nowadays, unless you were unlucky enough to be caught with the ball by the 'Ikale Tahi (or slightly after in a few cases) in which case you were individually slowed up rather markedly!

Webb doesn't even remember scoring that third try
-
Yep, checked YouTube vid. Mid 2nd half. Scotland were 6-3 up at break. Webb levelled, Gav missed and Rob Andrew got drop goal late in 2nd half.

@Sitka-Spruce good to see the OG turning up to say Hi

Will make sure any future version is updated.
God that was so long ago ...

This was the worst tournament ever. Split between 4 countries and days without any matches. Rugby was drab too and the ABs needed refreshing but wylie stuck with the old crew.
