Brilliant by Quinnell

Barbarians and commentary at its glorious best. 1973. Cardiff Arms Park.

"In the second minute of the game Brian Williams gets the ball from Ian Kirkpatrick and kicks it deep inside the Barbarian 22. Phil Bennett picks up the ball around his own 10 yard line, makes three successive steps to elude Alister Scown, J. Hurst and Ian Kirkpatrick. Bennett passes it on to JPR Williams. JPR gets tackled high, but still manages to pass to John Pullin. Confused English hooker John Pullin gives the ball to John Dawes who sells a dummy, covers ground and passes inside to the uncapped Welshman Tom David. Tom David is now inside the All Black half and being chased by a bunch of All Blacks. He makes a one handed throw inside to Derrik Quinnell (father of current Welsh international Scott Quinnell). Quinnell throws another one handed pass inside (I am not sure who it's intended for). Gareth Edwards from nowhere runs in the middle to pick the pass. Edwards runs the last 30 or so yards beating a bunch of All Blacks and dives in to the left hand corner of the river Tafft end to score what is now known as "The Try".

Allways get goose-bumps when i watch this try, the commentary makes it that extra bit special. If there's ever been a better try scored, i've yet to see it...

[SNOK1986]

Such an awesome team try see very few of those these days just individual brilliance...Best half back ever..Gareth Edwards! (and im from South Africa so no bias)

[Aussiephil99]

@tafwan ,,,called myself "Aussie" because I live in Aus and couldn't be arsed thinking of anything else. 1000000% All Black supporter.....NZ has similar population to Wales......yet dominates world rugby..........and Wales.....DON'T. Yes I've played rugby and have probably forgotten more about the game than you'll ever know!

@Aussiephil99 ... Cont'd from previous thread. There is one more thing I would like to add, before ye of little experience or intelligence rubbish other peoples countries. You have forsaken your woolly shagging in NZ to live here too!!!

I love Australia that is why I live here, but I am Welsh & always will be. Unlike you who is undecided about your nationality, No heart or loyalty.  Australia are starting to step up before the world cup, I hope they stick it up the Ab's this Saturday!!

[tafwan]

@Aussiephil99....Cont'd from previous thread;- For a crappy nation of only 3.5 million, Me thinks we did pretty good. Have you ever played rugby? probably not, just like to rant about it!!

So which is it your either a Kiwi or Aussie, or another one that likes an each way bet . Let me guess you will be (Kiwi Phil) if the Abs win this week or back to Aussie Phil if they don't???

The Aussie are travelling well & I think they will win Saturday! !

Wales record against Aussie pretty good mate!!
