    It was 1973

    2023 - 1973 = 50

    Not sure anyone was disputing that, except those raging against the dying of the light.

    FYI. I don't remember either the Baabaa's game, nor the Wales match I refer to. Both well before my time.

    @Winger Wasn't that the game where protestors cut the cable and we all missed first bit? I seem to recall watching the game, but missed the try until later, just heard it?
    They were protesting SA links etc I think. Someone with a better memory (or inertnet ability) may just be able to correct me.

    Maybe but don't know. We often had a poor reception on the farm

    Not sure how much you’re taking the piss but the jizz fest for the last 50 years does not match the quality of the try.

    I think that was a game against Wales when coverage was not established until late in the first half, or might have even been halftime. Then again it was so along ago the alzheimers memory might be rearing it's ugly head.

    Penderyn Icons of Wales No 4 / That Try (70cl, 41%)

    Penderyn Icons of Wales No 4 / That Try (70cl, 41%)

    That Try is the fourth bottling in Penderyn’s Icons of Wales series, each of which celebrates Wales and its people throughout the world. Released in time for the Rugby World Cup 2015, it is a tribute to the greatest try ever scored in Welsh rugby history (aka 'That Try'), scored by Gareth Edwards...

    @MN5 That was also a great one, absolutely no argument with it and don't really want to even say one was better, from diffeent eras , but still (like many other tries) really show the breathtaking skills/running etc that we all love in the game.

    @MN5 I was on the terraces for that. You could see the try was on from the moment the French received the kick.

    There was some average tackling back then.

    Some nice head highs though

    That's part of the averageness

    No one of reasons it was such a good game, it was played under the laws of the game as they were interpretated in 1973, not in 2023! So won't average at all!

    See any of those who watched game know there was no lifting in lineout, jacklers etc etc. All great games of rugby are great because players play to laws of the day!

    @antipodean sorry mate it was in reply to the so called averageness of game, because of the so called head highs.
