Kind of funny that this is an example of Campese's try scoring prowess. The ball was held by 10 sets of Australian hands on that phase...Campese's only role was to catch the ball and take a few steps over the line. Any decent rugby player would have scored that one.

Not saying he wasn't an all-time great, just that he didn't do anything special in this particular clip.

Fantastic team try though.

I was at this game. Campo stuck around after the game signing autographs for close to an hour.

A legend in every way.

what movie is this

[DevilBoyDoc]

that is a fantastic team try, they must have been taking notes from an all blacks match :)

Mark Ella was just brilliant, Campo wasn't bad and I say that as he was a fantastic atacker but not so great a defender. Still guys like him can win a match by cutting through tough defense, or they can lose a series aka versus the british lions when the wild pass to the in goal resulted in a gimme try to the lions.

David campese came to my school yesterday i have his signature

@rugbycampo That was the genius of Mark Ella. His philosophy was to always be running in support, as this great try proved. I could go on for days about how brilliant Mark was.

[rugbycampo]

Did I just see Mark Ella support his winger in that move!? He's just incredible. As Bill McLaren said, 'It's not what Mark Ella does when he has the ball that matters, but what he does after he's passed it, that matters."

This is the best team try in Australian history. Tremendous speed through the hands, and great support. I'd suggest Matt Burke's solo try against the All Blacks in 1996 was the best individual Australian try.

mark ella is as fluid as a waterfall.! loved watching him shovel the ball out wide, the ball just floats through him

Are you a racist?

BrocBeau Takes in up the ass. Wallbies for life.

In terms of fitness sure, but in terms of talent, skill and determination every team from 10 and 20 years ago were much better than any team today. If these teams were Pro (and didn't have jobs to do as well as play rugby) and were training non-stop, they would destroy today's teams.

(to theeviltwaz) : Yes, Barry John was the other great #10 i was thinking of .
