I was at this match. In all honesty we hung on and England fluffed chances to close it out which made it all the sweeter. Prior to the conversion, an English child behind me said "he'll miss" and his father replied "that's Neil Jenkins, he doesn't miss". Made the day for me.
A shame this group of players didn't win a title. What a side it was. Charvis, both Quinnell's, both Jenkins, Dafydd James, Howley, Gibbs, Taylor. Sublime 👌
i remember this. i was 9. fucking brilliant, i was born in england but i'm more welsh now that anything. i'll defend it to the hilt and support it in every tournament...even against england. good lord, welsh nationalism must be rubbing off :-)
Make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck! This was the first time I can ever remember Gibbsy side stepping and to do it twice in one run! Little wonder the English defence were caught out, the must have expected the classic Gibbs bulldozer, ha haaa! What a great day to be Welsh. I nearly fell out of my window jumping around. Remeber the Craig Quinell charge on I think it was Steve Hanson in the same game. Happy days!

to be fair this was probably one of the greatest moments in scottish rugby history
One of the greatest moments in Scottish as well as Welsh rugby history :)
Noone talks about how good Scott Quinnell's little pop pass was, quality!

Who would you want in world rugby to take this kick?.. That man!... A typical Bill McLaren comment but actually said by Eddie Butler :)

I see 6 English have watched this glorious try.
