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. -
Old fluffybunnies gather and huddle in the snug of the tsf pub....<br><br>
Boo, was that the one where jean michel aguire landed that 50 odd metre penalty?<br><br>
Witchcraft in those days with the heavy leather balls -
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>
