  • "Kirkpatrick to Williams. This is great stuff. Phil Bennett covering, chased by Alistair Scowan. Brilliant! Oh, that's brilliant! John Williams, Brian Williams, Pullin, John Dawes. Great dummy! David, Tom David, the half-way line. Brilliant by Quinnell. This is Gareth Edwards. A dramatic surge. What a score! Oh that fellow Edwards".

  • Rugby was played much more off the cuff in the early 70s, whereas nowadays it seems like matches are won and lost by the coach and his laptop. Every backline move is pre-planned and carefully rehearsed, while spontanaety and risk taking are frowned upon. The players of the 70s couldn't compete with the superfit, bulked-up, behemoths of today, but at least they gave a lot of people a lot of pleasure along the way.

  • Well that has to be the least intimidating haka in history xDD

  • It isn´t only the best try of all time,it´s also the best Haka :D :D

  • love the welsh crowd, they really love their rugby.

  • i shited ma self wen i saw that haka ;P

  • @ohtheidol Plus, they could slap a scrum together without all the nonsense you see today, and they were a bit more tolerant on mishandling the ball if it was just at your feet and not really batted forward. Today, you bat it forward even one inch...knock on!

  • What strikes me most about David Duckham is how such a tall chap could be so graceful at the same time and as for his acceleration! He really was born to be rugby great.

  • Nice sideburns prevailing the pitch! I think I saw Elvis field the ball once late in the game.

  • @nzlittlewing

    The best English player Ive ever seen! I saw this game on TV. David Duckham was incredible. Not enough said about THE GREAT MAN as far as I am concerned. We should sing his praises a lot more

  • You think rugby is great nowadays? These were the truly great days. Truly great players. Those welsh boys were magnificent! and the Irish boys. But for me personally, David Duckham was my hero. The best English player Ive ever seen!

    Sir David Duckham Isalute you! You were magnificent!

  • A victory laid with the Lions Tour of '71. A team of absolute legends. As said elsewhere, look at the speed of the handling compared to now. Amazing.
