Quote DHM="DHM"I know what you mean, but that game (from my memory) was unsual in it's lack of scrums, and they seemed quite tidy. I saw many games with 20+ scrums which were a total mess. You could regularly see games where nearly every scrum was penalised for some reason. Not great to watch in January to be honest.'"
You're right.....'rose tinted spectacles', fading memory and all that.
Does demonstrate how much of a classic the match was: incredible pace considering it was well before the days of full time professional conditioned sportsmen (Saints didn't even use their subs !!! We only had the one forward sub come one ...and what an impact. Even better than Eastwood

). Did the ball ever go out of play ?
That incredible ending even surpassed the match at Wigan last Sunday....how [uDID[/u Noonan manage to drop that ball when it seemed easier to score ??
