25 Six Nations Moments That Will Never Be Forgotten

[@AndrewDavidForde]

This isn't an exhaustive list by any means! I tried to include significant moments representing all nations & included some amusing stuff as well! Let me know of any significant moments I missed and perhaps I can make another one before the Six Nations starts!

[@JohnSmith-wo2fz]

If you want another idea for videos, you could do one for each nation and their wins/losses basically their story so far in the 6 nations.

[@morgues1919]

Gavin Hensons kick v england, Gavin Hensons tackles in the same match might have been a good addition

[@patanouketgersiflet9486]

As a Frenchman, I distinctely recall Vincent Clerc's last minute try at Croke Park vs Ireland which helped secure the Tournament win that year. And that 55-35 defeat in Twickenham, where defenses in both teams decided to take a break.

[@gordon1545]

Yeah, a bit of recency bias and I can think of a few big moments you could have included, but as a random collection of mouthwatering 6 Nations jewels it's fair put me in the mood for next week. Cheers!

[@darraghtormey1500]

How about a compilation of epic moments in the old 5 Nations. And I in no way mean that as a slight against Italian rugby. Would make for a tasty compilation in your more than capable hands. And show some of today's youngsters how the game used to played (remember heads up scrums?).

[@kevindugoujon1344]

That England vs Scotland game in 2018 was one of the best and most astonishing game of rugby i've ever seen in my life

[@gordon1545]

*2019. Even the context is nuts. It was the last game of the tournament and Wales had just hammered Ireland to win a grand slam. This was just an after-show, and yet it delivered an insane game of rugby. I heard tales of celebrating Welsh and commiserating Irish fans in pubs in Cardiff starting off ignoring this game and being utterly glued to it by the end. Here's a stat that sums it up: Scotland spent 53 seconds in England's 22, yet scored 6 tries. Less than 9 seconds per try!

[@L-po8rx]

There are a few games I give up on watching, but what Scotland did in that second half broke me

[@MiniMatthew]

Literally a game of two halves, England dominate the 1st half Scotland dominate the 2nd lol

[@themindsofanimals919]

I had 6 tickets to that game in the most amazing seats just above the England reserves. The morning of the game my father in law died and I had to drive down to London to give the tickets to my friends who were coming with us. Then back to the Hospital to join my grieving wife and family. There was really no need for them then to go and play one of the games of the century.

[@somanytakennames]

I’ve never cheered so hard for a draw in my life 😂

[@BiscuitGeoff]

Glorious. I would add Scott Williams’ try when he stripped Courtney Lawes, Henson’s winning kick with the ‘shave away’ commentary, Henson tackling Matthew Tait, Ryan Jones splintering the Scottish defence and Scotland’s two cards for tripping in one match. It might be a bit obvious who I support…

[@gordon1545]

I support Scotland, I was in Cardiff that day, but I'd add Wales coming back from 10 points down with a few minutes left to beat an injury-ravaged Scotland to your list. Brutal but unforgettable, and Shane Williams was outrageous.

[@8ackbiter434]

@@daddystu7046 There were about 20 seconds left on the clock when we were penalised (I think it was Cory Hill). Not that I'm bitter, but the ref proceeded to ignore several sealing-off offences in the multiple phases that followed the penalty against us

There are many things I live about this video: flankers -the best position IMO- with amazing tackles; intercept tries; that game v Italy when Haskell et all didnt have a clue; and that game where Scotland cane back from 31-0 especially Sam Johnson and Stuart McInally's tries. Absolutely brilliant 😊

[@jlm4455]

Both great tries but my favorite was Russell's intercept. It shocked everyone including myself.

[@charlottescott7150]

[@EllliotJackRussel1]

Great vid. For a part 2, besides other obvious ideas suggested by users, I recommend Murrayfield 07. Italy took a 21-0 lead in the first minutes, thanks to a charge down and two intercepts, and went to win the game 37-17.

[@davidjones272]

Surprised you didn't include the Wales vs Scotland game in 2010 when Wales scored 17 points in the last 5 minutes to win it.

[@jlm4455]

It shouldn't. That game ended a player's career with a tackle that today? Would be a straight red card and a lengthy ban. That was the takeaway, the "come back" was a distant 2nd.

[@peterj.francisdunleadebarr4367]

For me the moment after Ronan O'Gara's drop kick is the one I always remember. With the clock going into the red Stephe Jones stepped up to take a long-range penalty from the half-way line. I was full sure he'd knock it over, but mercifully, it fell just short, ensuring Ireland won the Slam.

[@leeofdoom4452]

I was sat right behind that goal, with my now ex GF from Dublin and about 10 friends visiting us... As it sailed under the post I just turned and walked through Cardiff city centre in a daze. She found me at home about 2 hours later. I still feel the trauma of that day!!!

Fantastic line up! I will say i wouod have loved to see Fofana's try in Twickenham where be beats the entire english backline, i dont think I've watched a rugby clip more than this one

[@effarrjay]

Suggestionwise: Couple more for Italy such as winning their debut match over Scotland in 2000 or scoring 3 tries in the opening 7 minutes against the same team in 2007. Wales denying England the Grand Slam while winning the title in 2013, Gethin Jenkins try against Ireland in 05, Wales vs Scotland in 2010, the whole 'red carpet' incident with England and Ireland in Dublin 2003. Plus, Mauro Bergamasco's performance at scrum-half in 2009.

[@AndrewDavidForde]

I intended to include the red carpet incident but they only footage I could find was from a documentary which was really bad commentary! But others are great suggestions nonetheless!

[@jlm4455]

That 2010 game should be remembered for what happened to a player whose career was ended and nearly died on the field. Had that game been reffed today, the tackle on Evans would've been a straight red card. Given what was going on with Evans it is little wonder Scotland fell apart.

[@AndrewDavidForde]

@@jlm4455 granted it's awful what happened to Evans but having just watched it back, Evans was being tackled when he hit into Byrne so the connection with Byrne that caused the injury was just above Byrne's waist. I don't think it would have been a red card even by today's standards.

Very good video ! I know you have to pick and choose ,for instance Ireland denying England a Grand Slam twice, Johnny Wilkinson's brilliant drop goal against Ireland in 2003 when we were shellaced by England. Two things made me feel a bit sad, Scotland not holding on to beat England 38-31, and Italy, a team 23 years in the 6N simply winning a game, and even worse having to include just about all of the handful of games they did win.

Being Irish, the grand slam kick from O'Gara will probably always be the most memorable moment of any six nations - the pure joy of it. But a couple more come to mind that aren't in here. Ireland vs England in Croke Park, Peter Stringer tap tackling Jason Robinson to stop him scoring, and a non Irish one - Wales coming from behind in the last four minutes to beat Scotland in 2010. Absolute scenes

Wasn’t at the come back match at Twickenham in 2019. I’m actually glad I wasn’t as I’m fairly certain I would have left at 31-0 down and beat the crowds back into London. Never would have forgiven myself 😂

[@ROMZYDLX]

every calcutta cup victory Scotland has had since 2018 ive been to, 2019 was pure insanity, id had just about given up hope when we started scoring and by the end of the match most English fans had left the stadium, apart from my friend. I was almost crying by the end of the match and at that point you would've thought you were in Murrayfield with how loud everyone was singing flower of Scotland. I have been extremely lucky to see those matches as a Scotland fan and I don't take for granted. Eventually the auld enemy will take their revenge.

[@stephenpaul7499]

I'm from SA. This tournament is just fantastic and I'm delighted that it gained Netflix fame. 👏🏻 👏🏻 That said, I found the documentary uninterested in the game of Rugby generally, and the Six Nations in particular. It's obviously easier to be a critic and I still got something out of it.

[@wallopyjoe]

If including whole matches, I think you should have included whole days. Or, at least, one day in particular. Super Saturday in 2015 may never be beaten. Mathematically possible for 4 teams to take the win before anyone stepped on to a pitch. I think 27 tries were scored that day, including a couple of last minuters that rocked the boat and kept different dreams alive or in the balance. Being at Twickenham for the final match was pretty fucking special, even if we did fluff the last play that would have given us the overall win. I had so much fun that day the fact we lost the Championship just didn't phase me. Hard not to be entertained by an end to end back and forth that ends 55 - 35. It was a truly awesome day.
