Best try ever scored, the range of skills, the hands, the vision. Utter class.

wonderful
This try typifies the ethos of French rugby which was about flair, vision, skill and individual brilliance and even now it still takes my breath away.
France, please do this and more when you come to New Zealand in June.
The most beautiful collective try in rugby
I was there….. Loved it then, love it on here. Great to hear the reaction of 80,000 too. You can't beat the element of surprise – never turn your back in rugby, especially against the French….
A try befitting the championship decider.
Wow in twickers too
Miss this French team.
French Flair!!!
Greatest try ever!And I grew up in England!!
"The greatest try Twickenham has ever seen"
C'est absolument magnifique. Pourquoi le jeu au pied a-t-il quasiment disparu dans le rugby moderne?..
Déjà à l'époque, Saint André était un finisseur et surtout pas un créateur. Les passes, les crochets, il connait pas
Une fluidité de mouvements et de jeu impossible à reproduire aujourd'hui tant les joueurs sont devenus des Bibendums hyperbodybuildés..
Magnificient crowd, they appreciate! marvellous crowd!! allez les bleus, god save the queen!
When you listen to the crowd you say : god save the queen! what a crowd!
who is #10? what he did is absolutely awesome… saint-andré just finished the job.
If only he could manage his team like that. That was beautiful to watch.
to me that is still what French rugby is all about
Proof that great players don't make good coaches…

The irony is that England won the match, all points with the boot, if I remember correctly. Great try though.
