Just stumbled on this gem, the boxing day game from 1992, well worth the 30 mins to watch it.
Neil Back plays an absolute blinder, there is some very good rugby played and some classic tries by both teams.

Thanks. Great fun to watch. So much closer to normal rugby in style of play than modern pro stuff, so much more relatable.

PS. Got very excited to begin with when I thought Danny Grewcock was going to moonlight as scrum-half...

Much faster scrums, and despite everyone's hands all over it, quick ball from the rucks.

Thanks for that, really enjoyable but made me feel very old :lol:
I was playing when Steve Bates made his first team debut for my club as a 16 year old :shock:
