    37th Anniversary. (Fuck this reminds me how OLD I am!)<br><br>
    Should have posted this earlier. Not often we've been thumped that bad.

    Hmmm ... could be. Will drag out the Men in Black. There was a monster kick of legend in series before that. Villpreux?

    I was there , <br><br>
    My strongest memory was the sportsmanship of the nz crowd who applauded the French tries like we scored them . <br><br>
    The French really entertained that day , throwing the ball around from everywhere .

    <p>I was there. Far from the worst side we put out in the 70's but it was a bit like today in reverse. We just didn't know how to react to the speed and interplay amongst the French who had a bloody great side. Albeit we could have snuck it at the end. Some bloody good tries scored</p>

    <p>Rives has been one of my favourite players ever since</p>
