Live in Wales oddly not shown UK wide on Sportsnight the next night

There was a massive Cliche in Welsh rugby and if your face didn’t fit then you wouldn’t get picked for Wales i.e David Bishop.

Thanks for the vid, poster. I was living in Wales at the time and may well have attended the game.

Some cracking touches of sheer brilliance from Tony Ward, we don't see that sort of magic from a fly-half these days. Worth watching the match just to relive moments like that! Thanks, Simon5

Thank-you!

A fine example of club rugby. I just wonder if adult men should be doing this. Ah well.

Magnificent! Most enjoyable! Thank-you!

Thank-you!

I was a no. 9 and my name is J .Griffiths. Not much to add here I suppose.

I was there and am on this right at the end, on the pitch. Great game. Where's the time gone?

The Celts nicked it! The upload seemed a bit spotty early on. My thanks, however, for it.

Classic kits are nice to see.

Some tough old characters on the pitch that day. Great days.

Thank you - a brilliant watch. Skipped Uni and was on the Tanner Bank in the rain that day, having enjoyed the hospitality at Felinfoel RFC. A great win that isn’t often spoken about. Still remember Ieuan turning and chasing down Burke in one of his first few matches for the Scarlets.

Jeremy Cooper number 7 for the Scarlets, was my high school PE teacher back in the day. I now live in Australia 😮

*Looks like it was glaringly hot in norther England back then*

Good to watch this. Was it really 40 years ago? Some good players on display a few sadly no longer with us.

Rugby was better then. Not as many injuries, few running into tackles, no defensive lines. Better tactical kicking.

it was much more fun in those days

Phil Orr, one of the best loosehead props ever, destroyed by Graham Price. In this day and age, he might well have been sent off for deliberately collapsing the scrum.

I was there, 12 years old, first time at the national stadium and seeing the Scarlets win. When the drop goal went over we were ecstatic. Wonderful memories!

I never that I'd see this match ever again

Surprisingly small crowd

I was there at this game as a 13 year old

Very solid Wales pack, but the backs did not make the most of the possession. Lovely little run by Graham Price towards the end. Thanks for sharing this gem 🙂

That final drop goal...if Derek Bevan was not directly underneath it would never have been given...hell of a kick to win it :-)

That touchline conversion by Phil Davies???? 🙂

Charlie Faulkner legend of a man

What does match commentator Bob Symonds do nowadays?

I can smell the oil of wintergreen

A four minute snapshot of some of the incredible beauty of this amazing city.

never knew David Evans was playing for Cardiff this far back. First I heard of him was the 88 Varsity match.

My brother-in-law Gary Pearce made his Wales debut in this game, along with his Bridgend half-back partner, Gerald Williams.

My brother in law Gary Pearce played 10 for Llanelli that day. I was in the crowd watching with my schoolmates. A great day.

Fantastic ❤ what a treasure for our children and grandchildren. Thank you Simon xxx

I used to play District, and Youth rugby, football, as well as cricket with Gary, he was always a stand out player and all round sportsman. He also looked after me when Llanelli played Harlequins, a great guy and great memories of us growing up.

Great job Si 👍

This is my first attempt at a sports video. It is a highlight reel of the rugby union career of my brother-in-law Gary Pearce. I hope fans of rugby in the 80's will enjoy it.

dear! breathtaking ~ 👍
