The rugby nostalgia thread

[The torpedo]

Post your favourite videos, photos, anecdotes and discussion about rugby in years gone by. Please do not piss and moan about how shit Australian rugby is now - we've already got enough threads on that.

To start off, here's some highlights:

Wallaby Dr Gregg Burrow at the end of the first one - must have used Sydney Uni for the crowd scenes

You forget how good Radike was. We would kill for an 8 like that now.

The funny thing about it is that the ref gave the Tahs the advantage for the Chiefs being offside - Dunning was trying to get the penalty given by kicking it away.

Unfortunately he hit it a bit too well...........

I've been trying to find footage of this slightly obscure one for a while: Horan and Little's first test together, at a soccer ground in Strasbourg, a couple of km's from the German border...

Five years ago is hardly nostalgic but there are so many highlights from the 2013 Wales Australia match in Cardiff. Welsh try in the opening minutes, Izzy tearing them apart on the wing, the team try following Kepu manhandling their hooker @ 1.25, Izzy's try after two massive Welsh tackles on their line.

So good.
