Barbarians Try Against the All Blacks 1973

I dont normally watch rugby..but i do play football...and i envy that play. That was pretty fucking kick ass.

thats so badass dood

Wonderful

This is a great piece of running Rugby-
All over the pitch, loads of passes, the stuff every 7 stone school boy dreams of.

Fact is that when you're on a wet pitch, with a wet ball - and 15 giant men chasing you- you're going to, fumble drop the ball and some of your passes are going to be a bit 'forward.'

Modern professional Rugby has crawled up it's own jockstrap what with all the whistle stop refereeing that takes place.

A legend? Oh deary. Listen, in 1996 Wigan came to 'Twickers' under RU rules and were rucked and mauled to the point even the Bath fans were booing. The mighty Bath then tried to throw the ball around and Wigan tore them apart, scoring 2 tries from behind their own line. Both through several pairs of hands, the length and width of the pitch. Awesome ties. Bath went back to rucks/mauls. This was of course after Wigan had destroyed them at RL and Robinson spat his dummy out. Here endeth the lesson.

Hmmmm.... go fuck urself

You lot believe too much hype. "Ooh the legendary All Blacks, ooh Gareth Edwards, scuse me while I wank". Seriously, it's a great try, but to say it's the best ever shows serious lack of game knowledge, appreciation of broken field play and naivety. Two good sidesteps, some decent offloads (a forward pass) and a sprint, all down one channel. Yes, it's good, but there are better tries in Union and League. Try 'NZ v France 94', 'France v England 91', or 'Queensland Miracle Try'. All better.

Ive watched those tries & this one is the greatest...those other tries we're brilliant also....but from Bennet's dancing feet to Edwards dramatic sprint down the line to dive for the score, is pure inspiration!

Nope, you don't get it. This is the greatest try, and was once voted as the BBC's Greatest Sporting Moment, because of the exhilirating combination of action plus genius commentary.

that is the greatest try ever. some of the greatest players ever to exist were on that field. gareth edwards primarily.
