  • Absolutely wonderful.....and I'm an English fan...but as a schoolboy in the early 70's the Welsh team were always the most magnificent team to watch...those names just conjure up such glorious memories - Edwards, Barry John, Phil Bennett. JPR,JJ, Roy Bergiers, John Taylor,Merv the Swerve, the Pontypool front row...happy days ! And the great voices on the commentary - Nigel Starmer-Smith, Cliff Morgan and the immortal Bill McLaren - we shall never see or hear their like again !

  • god its a shame there wasnt a world cup in those days

  • some say Stammer-Smith went "native" in his commentary here. Fuck those english if they think that, and no doubt Andy Robinson will back me up, what i read today in the arse spankers The Times.

  • 01:22 - a classic try in Paris from '71. buddey brilliant.

  • Is anyone else impressed with the speed the ball came out of those mauls and rucks?

  • I'm a french rugby fan,and it is a very great pleasure to see these images.I was 12 years old at the time,played in Racing rugby team (which play in h-cup today).I passed marvellous afternoons to see five nations matches on tv between british teams.

    Particularly Welsh players were magicians and I never forget all they gave for Rugby.

    Today I am very happy to see Welsh team at it best level of game and players.

    Glory to the Welsh nation to have find again the way of the Magicians!!

  • did that guy nearly passout at 1:53

  • @taweraster Barry John did beat the All Blacks in 71 with the Lions, which was almost all the Welsh team, best backs of all time in my opinion.

  • @blairomatic Yes, the results show that. But I do think the great Wales side of 70-71 would have beaten the All-Blacks. It was a travesty you have to admit that the 78 result is tinged somewhat with events that occured.

  • @BillyBronco73 I feel it must be accepted that The Wales team of 70-71 and the British Lions of that era that contained so many Welsh greats has to be the benchmark and to my eyes is the greatest side ever.

  • @taweraster That Wales side also played the best free-flowing Rugby ever seen. Poetry in motion you have to agree.

  • @BenKHouch But that team did not win the World Cup in that era!
