That try (The greatest Rugby Union try of all time)

This is, without a doubt, the greatest try Rugby Union has ever seen. From the Barbarians/All Blacks game of 1973. Barbarians won it 23-11... but that's immaterial. The Sport of Rugby was the real winner after this match. This is the part, a mere four minutes into the game, that most people remember. Scored by Welshman Gareth Edwards, who some consider the greatest scrum half of all time, it's unforgettable.

at 0.24 Forward Pass!!!

Maybe. It's hard to tell. Looks lateral enough to not be called at the time the game took place.

I keep waiting for the announcer to yell "THE BAND IS OUT ON THE FIELD!"

@rfwebster Don't think it would make a difference if it wasn't forward he was running from behind him..

[wklokow]

Except for the two forward passes not bad.

Listening to Gareth on BBC live at the moment .... Im a kiwi ... it was not forward. Mind you .. I will always remember John Kirwan Vs France as being the best try i ever saw
