jason robinson try 2001 lions tour vs aussies

[marshall221000]

There it is ... one of the better fullbacks in the world, Chris Lathem powerless to stop him.

[tommy444able]

i love wathcing the lions but us scots dont have many players in the team

[dempseyjohnson]

I was there Brilliant - ''Heres to you Jason Robinson, the Lions love you more than you will know, Wo oh oh.

or

Waltzing O'Driscoll, waltzing O'Driscoll

You'll come a waltzing O'Driscoll with me,

And we sang and we roared as he ran through the Wallabies

You'll come a waltzing O'Driscoll with me

Or my personal favourite

''Ball and chain, Ball and chain

We came here with backpacks you with Ball and chain''

[jamiekbris]

Best tour, best game and best atmosphere I've ever experienced, can't believe it's ten years ago.

It's a shame they won't let Expedia be official tour operator again (remember the lionesses and the one lucky bastard with them!) - a grand for flights with guaranteed match tickets and you got 3 Aussie Dollars to the pound!

[davidstavros]

LOL @ Latham showing him the outside.

[MrNuggins]

Quickest feet in rugby. Love the way the touch judge stands still, anticipating Latham will try and push Billy towards the touchline and needing to see if a foots in touch.....and he doesn't even come close!

[WinstonChurchill]

Get goosebumps from this turn of speed.

[sssbbbwww30]

look at that beautiful accelaration and speed

[twotellys12]

all time great ?? hes scored like 5 trys in the wole of his career, unlike people such as Lomu,habana,swilliams,howlett & clerk....who all have over 40 trys for there countrys

[sssbbbwww30]

@twotellys12 well maybe its because he came from league thats why hes not up there in the try tally, and hes scored more than 5 tries lol

[twinytwo]

@twotellys12 robinson has 30 tries from 56 tests

[Crushem12]

@twotellys12 you absoulte moron.

[Bungle79]

@twotellys12

30 tries in 56 games is a pretty good return considering Jason only got his first cap at 27 years old. The others all first played for their country no older than 21! Lomu(37 tries in 63 games) and Habana(38 tries in 68) are comparable. Williams(55 in 83) and Howlett(49 in 62) do have a better strike rate. Don't quite know why you chucked Clerc in there(24 tries in 48 games for france). If only Jason hadn't spent so many years in rugby league......

[Niallersz]

Lions should have won that series, it was a great wallaby team but there was stars all over the lions that year

[hanros98]

@Niallersz lions had star players but he wallaby side were much more rehearsed and familiar. they had won the tri nations for the last two tri nations beating new zealand. they were probably one of f the best teams during this time under the great captaincy of john eales

[AxlDB7]

its great to see a league lad show the yawnion boys how its done

[adspad75]

great try. shame four countries in one have a hard time beating southern hemisphere teams these days..

[senluijr]

@adspad75 a squad made from 4 seperate teams thrown together at relatively short notice with little practice together. I would like to see a southern lions team in action. Australian, All Black, South African and Argentinian players in a similar way put together to face nothern hemisphere sides, I doubt they would do as well as most people expect.

[edmasterBooM]

o'driscollis is no way near as good as billy wizz, this try is a perfect example

[stalkek]

Robinson's is a great try but O Driscoll's is another level altogether. Rob's a great team try & finish against one player on wing; there was no try on that anyone could see with O Driscoll's try.

[lickstickly]

well to be fair O'Driscoll is a centre and BW a fullback so cant really compare them but i know who has more respect in world rugby and thats BOD

[inxia38]

I'd forgotten how early in the match that try was. Australia was coming off a World Cup win and our first Tri-Nations victory, but I think this try was the moment when every Wallabies fan in the country dropped our jaws and said, "oh crap."

[TheCarlinH]

Gr8 try and hes a gr8 player but O'Driscolls try in that match was better and he is a better player.

[pomstar08]

@TheCarlinH

cumon dude no need to be bias their in the same team ffs. im english and i think both of them r world class , none better than the other. dont disrespect robbo his awsum.

[rugbymad0807]

How does he do it!?!? Incredible!

[adcsm101take2]

holy fuck he is fast

[jimbobjimminy]

Come back as a depressed Lions fan to see this try again...

Epic. I'm a Worcester Warriors supporter and have never been happier to see Chris LAtham get skinned.

[tommyzzz123]

i agree with jimbobjiminniny!!!!

[Gibmeister7000]

What a fucking finish, the lad is an all time great, no question about it.

[seasidebridge]

Well..it is.

[Crushem12]

Chewblued.

League and Union shouldn't even be put in the same sentance.

Take rugby, remove all the strategy, techical ellements and imagination, then you have rugby league. Which is practically, just running like a bitch, with a ball.. epic!

Fail.

[crash669]

Of course if you understood anything about rugby you'd know Jason Robinson had been scoring that sort of try since he was 17 for Wigan and that Rugby League has much to teach Union, things like the rush defence, decoy runners, chip kicks and grubbers. And guess who thinks these things, not me, an amateur rugby players but the best coaches in the world men like Eddie Jones, Shaun Edwards, Robbie Deans, Dean Ryan etc, etc, etc. So think before rubbishing league next time.

[gulf177]

League has a couple of advantages in defensive technique (product of decades as a fully professional sport) but no doubt union is a better game, which is why mungoes are moving into it, not the other way round. Union has absorbed these techniques from people like Shaun Edwards. League will be semi-pro in 20 years.

[cymruadam]

Dean Ryan!? Best coach in the world!?

Oh dear, that's hilarious XD

[michaelstillidie]

best try ive ever seen live

[jimbobjimminy]

Jason Robinson for 2009 tour!

[danclay530]

shit hot!

[jamy695]

Cannot get enough of this. Beautiful.

As Dawson said "in and out in 3 yards..."

[carminettor]

one of the best ever
