Simon Geoghegans try against England 1994

[SerielThriller]

they never pass the ball out the back these days, if they only did that we might win more

[Toops144]

Simon was such a great player. So entertaining to watch because he had pace and was fearless. A warrior indeed and there's no one like him in my view.

[LiamMacSuibhne]

Underwood hadn't the pace..... Callard hadn't the power.......

A unique commentary piece to suit the class of the player scoring.

Well done, G. Hamilton. :)

What a fantastically exciting talent. A huge waste in that Irish team. If he had come along 10 years later (and been injury free) he would surely have joined the true all time greats of the game - every bit as good as Brian O'Driscoll - just very unlucky with injures and the team he played on! He gave us some great memories though! Legend!

[davecscott1974]

I remember that game - England hardly ever lost to Celtic nations in the early 90s, and virtually never at all at Twickenham. Great try and a great result

[ir5ac]

i remember reading somewhere this was the first pass he had received in an attacking play in about 5 straight 5N matches and he wasn't going to muck it up.

[hanros98]

the try was scored in the same year as i was born so i never watched him live but he really looked amazing back

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

if an octopus could run, it would run like him lol

[leonidasaa]

The late great Bill Mclaren was a huge fan of his

[pele28]

I was there, it was one of the great tries and result and one of the best nights out after, thank you simon!!

[DKP4]

Geogegan could have been one of the greatest wingers in world rugby except (a) he only received about 7 decent passes in his entire Ireland career and (b) he injured his big toe and had to retire. He was truly brilliant.

[magic118]

Made me fall in love w'rugby he did. Great winger.

Simon, you are the man. I was in Paris, watching you scored this. Livewire.

[orbandsceptre27]

Bradley`s pass was so slow that I thought the screen had frozen in slow motion!

[iiswellconfused]

ah yes back in the good old days when an irish win over england was rare... how things have changed

[McElhinney65]

Poor defence by Tony Underwood.

[jratt2]

I remember hearing about this try, but I never saw it at the time. Nice one Docathail.

[gerk1986]

Geogheghan was UNREAL, i wish there were more clips of him

[Zurzi]

whatever happened Geogheghan lads, anyone know what he went on to do with his life. he was some player. i'd love to see that tackle he did on Lomu.

[ledfloyd111]

i heard he had broken his toe and that it got infected real bad and had to go , hence his illustrous career faded

[blue8009]

[MrFatelvistheham]

brilliant player

[eamonnconlon]

He's a solicitor. I'd say he's working in London and doing quite nicely.

[rlillis]

I heard it was some sort of mysterious arthritis in his big toe. Got several surgeries on it, but it never fully recovered. Yes he's doing quite nicely as a solicitor.
