@mariner4life He carved up in that match didn't he? The rest of us got to see what he was all about and that he justified the hype.

Enduring memories include being in a pub in surry Hills after the Scotland v Fiji game
And every Scots supporter just raving about Rupeni
I saw that one live at Aussie stadium. Pretty handy living five minutes away. He was untouchable.
Luckily the other 14 Scots were a bit better than their opposite numbers and got in the quarters vs Oz the week after.
Living in Sydney was bloody good fun, can’t believe it’s been 20 years !!!!!

I think probably a try today but not back then. Much more stringent then.
Correct call then, correct call now

Most of the sides at the 2003 RWC tried to play a bit and score tries. There was lots of entertaining Rugby.
By 2007 it was much more about kicking from hand and defence. Lots of the games were arm-wrestles.
Cycles in playing styles, coaching but particularly law variations.
Usually as a result of one team learning to play the laws better than the others.
Making no comment on who that one team generally was ...

Downward pressure = try.
The knock on was after that
Not part of the definition since whenever.
"Downward Pressure" is a bit like "the referee is the sole judge of fact and law".
It was in the laws for some long people just can't let it go.

I watched the opening ceremony and game but have never seen the final.
I did go to the two AB pool games in Melbourne. I even had a brief chat to a couple of ABs while walking around the city.
