It's not fucking hard boys

It was 1973

2023 - 1973 = 50

Not sure anyone was disputing that, except those raging against the dying of the light.

FYI. I don't remember either the Baabaa's game, nor the Wales match I refer to. Both well before my time.

Now I think you just boasting or rubbing into us old buggers Boo

@Winger Wasn't that the game where protestors cut the cable and we all missed first bit? I seem to recall watching the game, but missed the try until later, just heard it?
They were protesting SA links etc I think. Someone with a better memory (or inertnet ability) may just be able to correct me

Maybe but don't know. We often had a poor reception on the farm

Wouldn’t make the highlight reel of your average super rugby game ….

Not sure how much you’re taking the piss but the jizz fest for the last 50 years does not match the quality of the try.

I think that was a game against Wales when coverage was not established until late in the first half, or might have even been halftime. Then again it was so along ago the alzheimers memory might be rearing it's ugly head.

Yeah

Just seen a bottle in Japan for £60

[Dan54]

@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.

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!

[antipodean]

@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.

[dogmeat]

@Dan54 said in That Try:

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.
