Great match, I was there as a 13 year old, my first ever Rugby International, looked it up today on hearing the sad news of the death of JPR Williams who stood out in a Wales side jam packed with talent. I was a little disappointed that Scotland lost but it was such a thrilling match I still feel privileged to have seen it. I had consolation a few weeks later when we hammered England.

The 5 Nations in 1971 was an important championship that year. It was an opportunity for Lions coach Carwyn James to pick players for the triumphant tour of NZ later in May of that year with many becoming legends like JPR, Duckham, Gerald Davies, Gibson, John, Edwards, Mervyn Davies, Slattery, Brown, Willie John McBride, and Ian Mclaughlan.

I was at this game - probably the best I've ever seen, even if Scotland got beat. The crowd was massive, officially 104,000 paid, a world record at that time for a rugby match, but there were thousands more who couldn't get in. My family lived near the ground and when I got home my house was filled with Welshmen who had been invited in by my parents to watch the game on TV, my mother taking pity on them as they walked the streets unable to gain admission to the match.

No, if anything a tiny bit bigger, and leather. Rubber balls started to replace them in the early 80s. Then they got ever so slightly slimmer.

To those replying below: yes, I think the game was much better in my old playing days, 70s, 80s. I have an idea based on the fact that in America some baseball is played with equipment/uniforms of the 1880s and 1890s, balls, bats, gloves. Rules are from that time too. I think rugby needs something similar: a separate game of 70s rugby, and World Rugby would object, but F them!
@oliprj86762 жыл бұрын
That winning conversion from John Taylor is so underrated. The ball was heavier back then, no tee, had to dig a hole in the ground to place the ball, and from wide out late in the game with majority of the crowd against him. Brilliant kick!

What's also underrated is the Scottish kicker was No.8 and captain Peter Brown. Not many (if any) No.8's these days that could slot the ball through the posts the way he did...

Back when the earth was young and mere immortals played this game from heaven. Gareth Edwards, Barry John, Hall, John Dawes, Gerald Davis, John Bevan, JPR Williams. One of the greatest backlines ever. Watching that ball passing through to Gerald Davis at the end truly amazing a tbing of beauty They all came to NZ in the British Isles Lions and kicked our ass I remember watching them play against North Auckland. Wow what a team and i didn't even talk about the forwards. NA v Lions the goings did the special move you know Going Going Gone except Sid Going did the Maori sidestep sadly into the Welsh rock JPR. WHEW we almost did it what a game

I likewise remember the 1971 tour, although I was only a boy at the time. Lions beat North Auckland 11-5, with John Bevan scoring a try in the dying minutes. Indeed the Going triple scissors movement was pure sleight of hand. I also remember Ian Kirkpatrick's famous solo try in the Christchurch test. Lions won the test series 2-1 with the final test at Eden Park ending 14-14. Pinetree Meads' waiting 14 years to captain the ABs and then we lost. :(
