Forget about the try! What the actual fuck is that Kiwi hooker doing to get the ball into the lineout?? Bowling a Googly? :lol: :lol:

My dad went to school with him and played in the same team as him and I knew him and his brother.
Greatest patron of his local club Nantyffyllon.
RIP

That wasn't a hooker throwing in, it was Bryan Williams - another legendary winger from back in the day.

Bloody hell, Farrell was a shit fullback.
Regarding JJ Williams, I tended to see him as a bloody good player but not in the same league as guys like Duckham or Gerald Davies.

RIP. I grew up watching that great Welsh back line, and he was one of the great finishers.
