  3. 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.

    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….

    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

  13. Une fluidité de mouvements et de jeu impossible à reproduire aujourd'hui tant les joueurs sont devenus des Bibendums  hyperbodybuildés..

  15. When you listen to the crowd you say : god save the queen! what a crowd!

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