I've always loved the two tries scored by Phil Lowe when GB beat Australia at Wembley in 1973. Just discoved this on YouTube, first time I've seen them since the day of the match! It was my first visit to Wembley (I'd started at university in London that September) and my second was the 1974 cup final.

For the Wire, it was an 'ordinary' league match at Wigan, late 1970s, John Bevan got a pass from the scrum about twenty yards inside the Wire half close to the old main stand at Central Park. Beat about 6 pies on a 70 yard run to the line. No chance of ever seeing this one again, sadly. |

That's mine too, even thought the SOO try that went though about 15 pairs of hands was awesome.

And Sir John Bevan (#11) didn't even get a pass |

Yeah i love that try....the comical defending and counting the forward passes always makes it worth a watch. Seen jiffy alone score 50 better tries than that.

Edwards 'intercepts' the final pass which wasn't meant for him.

Also it played host to the finest array of sideburns the sporting world has ever seen. |
