  • Throughout their long history, Ireland had never beaten the All Blacks and they failed to beat them until 2016. This 1973 ended in a draw and see how it all happened. Lansdowne Road was the venue that this match took place. This was before the tight 1973 Five Nations which all five European sides won. lol.

    I remember being at that game I was 14 yrs old. I was able to get a "school boys ticket" from Elverys sports shop in Dublin. I was so lucky. I had a seat on the railing in the upper deck at the 1/2 way line. The only international Rugby game I have ever been to. So long ago now I can't even remember the price of the ticket.

    I was at that match when I was a schoolboy. It was very exciting. Grant Batty was the left wing for NZ and the highest try scorer for the ABs. He was only 5 foot 5 inches tall! It was a very different game to what we see now.

    I was there looking down the line of Barry McGann's conversion attempt! Amazing how different everything is 51 years later - kids sitting on the touchline, scrums forming almost before the whistle has gone for the knock-on, wingers throwing (overarm!) in to lineouts, no "bomb squads", spectators clapping for All Black's tries, etc. Not sure which era I prefer but the Aviva is much better than the old Lansdowne Road 😊😊☘☘

      That's just stupid. Crouch bind set and slightly older touch pause engage is all done to protect the front rowers' neck. Are you saying they should scrummage like in the old days just so games can resume faster? Front rows are going lower and lower to gain more driving force. They're bound to collapse more. And haha, I had to laugh at your last statement. They're professionals. Of course they'd want as much money as possible especially with their lives after their careers end looking so unstable.

    Interesting to see how quickly scrums are formed and the ball fed in; forwards just got on with the game unlike today with the collapses. Also the lack of Jackaling for the ball by the opposition; immediate release by the tackled player seems to be the reason. If ball doesn't come out of the ruck it's a scrum.

      Check out a 1969 match between Ebbw Vale and Maeteg on TH-cam and you will see the scrums that are a little similar to league. The game was very rough back then and a lot of people didn't know that. Since union took league ideas, tries were becoming a lot more difficult to score.

    I recall playing in the 60's/70's as a Centre and Winger. The last thing you wanted to do was to go down on the ball in your 25 - all the opposition forwards rolled over you and rucked the shit out of you. We used to have competitions in the showers after the game to see who had the biggest tag marks! I recall that Dunedin Marist club were the worst "offenders" in the rucking game in our league. Some tough fellas there. If you're still around Bubbles, I remember you!
