Great to see all the tries scored by those Wellington legends Stu, Bernie and Hewie.
Also reminded of how intergal Bruce Robertson and Trapper Loveridge were to so much of the ABs attack in the late '70s and early '80s.

A bit of a curio, Ireland/Scotland vs England/Wales Rugby 1980, in celebration of the Welsh centenary, two teams filled with my boyhood heroes at the time

Great stuff! That Andy Irvine try's a gem. Probably my favourite Scottish player growing up.

That's rugby
I sat next to Gareth Davies in the communal bath at our club a couple of weeks after that when he turned out for a select XV. Innocent times.

For anyone who still has the facility to play DVDs, Bill McLaren’s Rugby At Its Best is superb (£3.49 on eBay).
Living With Lions is the GOAT of rugby documentaries.
Here it is and you are damn right, it is absolutely brilliant, I had the video and wore it out.
