3 kiwis dont like this

yes i agree but i think that new zealand were good but they had a bad season losing to the baabaas and the scarlets

@gezhughes tbh the all blacks are still awesome. their win - loss record is one of if not the best for any international side in any sport

@ 0:25 the No.8 passes the ball forward to the No.9 who then dots down for the corner try, "the greatest try ever" clearly a forward pass, "The greatest try ever" was by jonah lomu @ the 95 world cup where he bowled mike cats for six HAHAHAHAHAHA

What the ref doesn't see isn't illegal, and just brute force does not make a great try, I don't remember that try but that's what he usually does

That's an amazing try, if only because the outhalf who started everything off actually ran the ball, instead of just trying to kick to touch. A lot of outhalves could learn a lot from this video.

Not only was this an incredible try.

but the surroundings to the actual game was great as well, with the barbarians tour they lost every game but this one.

And as Edwards said, many people only remember the first few mins because of the try, by no means was that game an easy one.

In 1973 it was rare to see so many continuos passes in Rugby Union, thats why it appears to be a great try, the ref missed the forward pass to Edwards, happens all the time in Rugby Union.

Not a patch on Rugby League...Tries like this occur regularly

Your the one confused - it's the other way around. You'd know that if you'd ever seen either game.

mudrat500 3 years ago

are u sure?

union - sarecens, the world cup,

leauge - st. helens, tri nations).

im not saying union is better (it is) jus that it has a LOT more passing!

oLiLiSdAbEsT 3 years ago

In the 70's and 80's, Rugby union was a fantastic running and passing game but throughout the 90's and 2000's kicking has become far more prominent, with the exception of the All Blacks. There have been some good rule changes that have allowed the game to become more running styled but as it stands at the moment, League has far more passing movements and Union has far more kicking.

If Union can get back to the style of play shown in this clip it'll be all for the betterment of the game.

mudrat500 3 years ago

fair enuff..

oLiLiSdAbEsT 3 years ago

This is the greatest try of all time. Its the peak moment in British rugby history(Prob that and beating SA 4-0 in SA and NZ 2-1 in NZ in the same period).

A try virtually from kickoff against the worlds most famous rugby team.

British Isles teams( except for the odd exception now and then) haven't lived up to that brilliance in attack. Mores the pity.

Pretty ordinary AB team as well on this occasion (if there is such a thing)

Ahuapai 3 years ago

yo spazman football get different lines for defense and offense, where as a rugby team has to defend and score at the same time with one line. it isnt stop and go like football with all the timeouts and time to hudle up, its make it up as u go and remeber ur plays and w/e. so consider that when thinking of teamwork

springbokk4life 3 years ago

yeah thats true, but most players, even in the college level occasionally, play both sides of the football.

btw, defense in football is almost completely based on positioning and reactions (rugby is the same thing).

and i stick by my previous statement, there is nothing more difficult in terms of teamwork than the o-line moving as one.

19Bogule93 3 years ago 7

wtf are you talking about, 11 guys on an american football team have to work together just as much as these guys, having played both i can safely say that both require the same amounts of teamwork, in different ways perhaps but still... I think you're not paying attention to the offensive line (the height of teamwork) or the entire defense on a football team.

spazman303 3 years ago

u are right dude, all sports are good. there are is no "best" sport. its HOW you play, not WHAT you play.

WazzaJr 3 years ago

you're getting bagged on by narrowminded Euros! I find that funny - I expected your comment to be an ignorant assessment of rugby from someone who doesn't know the game (which there is plenty of from NFL fans). I agree with you entirely - place value on both sports, yet entirely prefer rugby.

This is Rugby Union. The game was The Barbarians v New Zealand at Cardiff Arms Park, 27th Jan 1973. Welsh international Gareth Edwards scored the try.

Levi3D 4 years ago

yes..lol I started to play rugby this year (im trying to learn more about it)... and in my country we just have rugby union...

111locke111 4 years ago

Sorry, It's Rugby Union, the All Blacks are the New Zealand rugby Union team, the Barbarians are an invitational side from all over the world, although this try was mostly Welsh players (and 1 English).

Levi3D 4 years ago

I see... So de Barbarians are like a "selection" of the best union players... aren't they?

111locke111 4 years ago

Yes, kind of. They traditionally don't have much time to train together or work out tactics, and so the games have traditionally been very open, free-flowing games, but tend not to be too concerned with the 'tighter' areas of the game. Normally no-one kicks penalties in Barbarians games, but try to score tries, as it's an exhibition game.
