L'essai du bout du Monde

[s99bf0c8]

There's 20 minutes to go until WC final! Who knows what will happen!

[flyingdutchmanship]

what a voice have the rapporteur...someone knows whos is he?...

[slayermanee]

@flyingdutchmanship french

[flyingdutchmanship]

@slayermanee I mean...what is his name...

[Prorugby]

Sadourny <3 et Colomiers <3 best try ever... I remember 13 years ago, when I was young (nearly 8) this try was broadcast in the Stade Toulousain shop in Toulouse:)

Always fan of it! That's french flair!

[stroketheboat]

One of the best tries you're ever likely to see. Reminiscent of the famous Barbarians try against the AB's.

[canelle88]

oufff

[titibo17]

Une petite rectification : ce n'est pas "l'essai du bout du monde" mais bien "l'essai du siècle". "L'essai du bout du monde" est l'essai inscrit par les bleus à la dernière minute de la demi-finale de la 1ère coupe du monde contre les wallabies, en 1987.

[taffboyslim]

Can't stop watching this! - especially the 'out and in' sidestep at around 25 seconds... superbe!! (is that Sella?). NZ were one kick to touch away from winning the series, 33 seconds later, they are on their arses - magnifique!!

[zoltar56]

This was the last action of the match and Les bleus won their first (and so far only) serie in NZ...

Three weeks before the same French team lost to Canada...

[flyingdutchmanship]

@zoltar56 that's right! that was one of the lastet action of the match, and France won the series against All Blacks in New Zealand...I think, first time ever :)

[cleboss]

pk vous dites magnifique ?c du travail d'équipe,le symbole même du rugby

[jordyfrench]

@cleboss L'essaie est magnifique --' .

[zero0trooper]

It's the selfless pass right at the end which makes this try so good.

[paulmatile]

manifique!!!

[deltaevo270783]

pazzesco! io li odio i franzosi, ma questa è veramente poesia!!!

[fifilafrance]

ma perche odie i franzosi ?

Che ti hanno fatto ?

[Rasperdan]

What is it with you French ,,, you are the best team in the world .... But you run hot or cold ... Your our main hope in Europe ....Respect from a Welsh man never seen a better try ... :)

[bleimor28]

Thanks mate ;)

Diolc'h in fawr !!

[Rasperdan]

lol .... nice one

[leblond833]

Woow !! Allez les bleus pour le tournoi 2009

[Oualtaire]

L'expression "la passe en offrande" prend tout son sens là et puis merde à Brad Gilbert et toute la conception amerloque de "la victoire" à tout prix qu'importe les moyens... Perdre quand on devrait gagner c'est nul et faut avoir la haine de la défaite mais gagner sans la manière (donc sans le mériter bien souvent), c'est encore pire...

[Oualtaire]

That's what team sports should be about : think it was Platini who said the ultimate goal (here try) is the 1 where the whole team touches the ball & partake in it.. WINNING UGLY IS OVER-RATED!! Give me back this French team which didn't necessarily "win" on the scoreboard but still had the most respectable ambition of all : play the game as it should be played to try to win. You shouldn't try to follow the easiest path. That's in the Bible even. Aim for the absolute best not mediocrity.

[CharlottexJoBros]

Ouuua =) Vive la france moi j'dit !

[HarmAllShip]

ça...c'est sublime!

[spywol68]

GENERATION N'TAMACK,BENNAZI,CASTAGNEDE merci a vous

[Rasperdan]

There is a fine line between preaching and helping .... think about

[Eldrian88]

Allez les Bleus !

[Rosapilin]

French flair ! :)

[ciuliospec]

In quella partita giocava Berbizier?

[orbandsceptre27]

Nice try but....Baa Baa`s V NZ scored by Gareth Edwards - Phil Bennett was facing his own line turned and beat three NZ players to begin the move. The Baa Baa`s is a better try all round!

[taffboyslim]

Yeah but... the baa-baa's try was more or less the 'classic' Welsh team of the early 70's, in the first minutes of the game, playing in Cardiff (I think only John Pullin was the only non-Welsh player to touch the ball during the try). The French try was to win a series against NZ, in NZ, in the last minutes of the tour! I remember watching the baa-baa's try on TV at my nan's, my dad went to the game. For me, this try is better - and I'm Welsh!

[HH72000]

sa date mais c'est beau

[fifilafrance]

that from the good old times when an average guy (i mean 85 kilos x 6'') coluld still express he's genius on the field..

NZ has knocked it all down (the worst which has ever happened to rugby : Lomu !!)and now everyone play the same stuff: impact (huuu) pass ... impact (huuuu) pass Booom try...

I know i'm a kind of passeist but tell me about JPr Williams and let me dream about 1975's rugby !!!

[associancheXV]

pffff... pas de mots...juste un trucs que tu peux regarder 100 fois sans jamais te lasser...

VIVE le XV de FRANCE

[antzhime]

And Cabannes (7) for the last relay and faint. One of the great french flankers of this time (like Champ, Magne) whose tradition disappeared with Laporte (just take the ball and run straight ahead)

[jouwel]

ça m'a collé des frissons....

[91PieRo91]

french flair...

[mMvasco]

French flair lost by this shit of trainer : laporte

[elkisslen]

Yes I must agree.

As I read in a eurosport blog :

I hope Laporte chokes eating his Ham :)

(he acts in a Ham publicity)

[callerone1]

want to change your mind, defeatists? Glad you're not in charge of the team

[elkisslen]

Peace callerone1. I was wrong.

It was one of the best rugby game I've seen.

I still don't like Laporte.

[Galaad1]

Did you guys noticed that one of the last french holders of the ball had to faint not only the Blacks but the referee as well? ;o)

[surementpas]

The last pass is definitely the most beautiful

[JustinTense]

Greatest try ever!! Can anybody translate what the French announcer is saying for me and my fellow Australian's that will no doubt be replaying this video in the lead up to the World Cup in one of the most beautiful countries ever!

[gagwel71]

Hi guys!

I will try to translate with my enhlish!!

"The most accomplished try ever, from a french team, the one which insure an in-extremis victory against new-zealand team, in Auckland, a game action so beauty, that the Sunday Times qualified it as "the try of the century", and dedicated it a double analysis page"

I hope it's not too bad and may help you!!

Go France!!!!!!

[srybutihateyou]

great!

[SD78]

My school played the curtain-raiser for this game and I was sitting close to the sideline in the French half :)

[theclaphamranger]

I was on the terraces

[theinfamouscamXXII]

my favourite try of all time

[jeffgordon05041986]

et bien sa c'est de l'essai dominique

[timschuster2]

Magic!! True French flair..

[Smackitupdown]

ooooooyoyoyyoyyoooo lool enorme

[septiiic]

masterpiece !!

[Ginzu3k]

lol Dominique199

[Dominique199]

Pas terrible....

[STAROPOLI2]

Très bel essai, un des plus beaux marqués par les Bleus

[Brocoli2k]

What a great try !! That's the "french flair" ?

[benlanfry]

That is the french furia!!

[golgot38]

Fabuleux et merci...

[gerrystinks]

Only the French.

Superb (you bastards! :-) )

[martinrugby]

trop enorme vive le xv de france!

[davedavid86]

oh i say!!! oh i say!!! that's why they call it the try from the end of the world!

[expat74]

Sorry but that was 1994 as it say's in the vid but pretty hard to make out. Venue was Eden park NZ, Jean-Luc Sadourny finishing off a great try to clinch the game at the death 23-20 and winning the series 2-0.

[Pl4stoc]

Thanks! Yes I obviously got mixed up. I fixed the description.
