    I always enjoyed this one, as much for the commentary as anything else in the last ever Five Nations

    Chris Ashton v Aussie and Jonny May skinning Conrad Smith. Also Ben Cohen v Ireland in 2003 ( I think).

    Bit before my time. I started watching in 1982.

    But 2 length of the field team tries in 1980, both finished by Hika Reid. At a time when test rugby was still tight and dour they were extraordinary.

    Graham Mourie in the same test v Wales

    @Rapido Speaking of the bloody French

    last time we lost at EP, Nightmare on Jonah's debut. Amazing team try and one of those events that adds to their aura

    Sorry to nitpick ... But 2nd test. Debut was the week prior in Chch.

    Many who were around at this time will have suppressed the memory of these, so drag them up from the depths at your peril. But, they'll be burned in there somewhere.... 🙂

    Gerrie Germishuys - too fast for Bee Gee and Kit Fawcett losing the pass over his shoulder.

    Just before my time. Thankfully. I have memories of watching the series (i.e., I remember I watched it). But nothing firm in my mind.

    Unlike the next year:
    Batty intercept and Super Sid in first test.
    Lawrie Knight! To win the series in the 4th

    Clever Snake had the last laugh as he usually did. The ABs won the test.

    This try too.

    BBBR put the ball down one handed! Showboating fluffybunny! Shouldn’t be allowed back.

    Nah he doesn’t play video games...

    It was two handed.

    Was at that match. Good try but he looked like a fool having to go off injured after showboating.

    To be fair the amount of showboating that goes on here....

    @booboo Batty! Intercept!

    Considering i had no skin in this game, I'll always remember the first 3 tries in this test, all fucking crackers

    O'Driscoll's is a scorcher. 2 mauls to get the Wallabies on their heels, then that break and just doing the usually reliable Matt Burke.

    Jason Robinson skinning Latham (?) with 5m of space is fucking good too.
