Barbarians legend Phil Bennett on 'that try'

[@ammcox]

RIP Phil. A rugby legend.

[@Thomas-nd2om]

RIP to one of the greatest players of all time

[@mikeh5431]

I met Phil at an event in the British Club Singapore in 2006. I said 'I'm honoured to meet you Phil, I'm Mike and I'm from Swansea". He replied 'dont worry about it mun, you cant help that'

[@MickeyO-ur2hp]

Us Welsh have a sharp sense of humour!

[@melbeeswax6087]

Phil's right. The commentary is absolutely perfect. 'A dramatic start!.....What a score!' Poetry to all rugby fans.

[@drewlawrence696]

RIP 'Benny'....met him once....a long time ago....always had time for fans of the game.

[@jimmyomeara7983]

I was 13 when that try was scored and Phil was at his best, he became a boyhood hero and while I was born and lived in London I became a Wales fan. Absolute legend of the game... RIP Mr Bennett

[@R2Zmedia]

Same here and I still get goosebumps every time I watch it. Fully deserving of the title "The Greatest Try Ever" and all started by Phil Bennett. RIP Phil, you were and always will be a legend.

[@citroen-fe3qq]

As you , except i was 14, and Phil became the man i followed in Rugby from that day on; the side step just perfect.

[@gamerillenium1974]

Never get bored watching this try…. Timeless

Lucky to have met him a few times, lucky to have watched him play for Scarlets and Wales, and so glad we can still enjoy his fantastic footballing skills. RIP Phil- and thanks.

[@droghedamvc592]

We lament the loss of a legend, wonderful rugby player and an absolute gentleman. His legacy will live on forever in story. God Rest His Gentle Soul. Sympathy is tendered to his family and his beloved Scarlets.

[@redemrys5342]

Yma o hyd!

[@Cflet252]

i love watching this try your my hero

[@Spiderman-qu2wu]

So sad that we've lost a true legend of the game, but lets just remember his outstanding talents as a player, also he played in some of the greatest Wales teams of all time who I grew up watching with great pleasure, so RIP Phil you'll be sorely missed.

[@simonrees9441]

It's very sad that he's no longer with us, and only weeks before he died he saw a statue of himself unveiled in his home village - a fitting tribute and one that moved him deeply at the end of his life. Rest in peace Phil, you were a great player and the friendliest of people.

[@astralplainer]

What a game, what a score indeed! RIP Phil Bennett and Dai Duckham.🙏💪

[@MrNeil1957]

I remember watching that live on tv and being blown away by it.

[@andykusumadiningrat4230]

RIP Phyl, everyone always thinks about you.

[@keithwjones]

The greatest 10 ever to play rugby.

[@bumbleandprincess]

Best try ever and he is one of the few men that would have made the All Blacks Team.................Big Jim New Zealand.

[@redemrys5342]

He was better than any all black

[@jueja310doyle7]

@@redemrys5342 Indeed he was. Genius.

[@tonyatwood9505]

Phil Bennett, a fantastic player!

[@davidthomas450]

[@thesuperswans1719]

RIP Phil

[@kevintrace5396]

Wa a player god bless phil a legend x

[@Gordo3958]

And the best thing about this is the compliment he paid to John Pullin. In those days they played hard but had real respect for each other. So sad to see what rugby has become now. RIP Phil, a true rugby great.

[@GaryDuncanson-s4g]

Very of gracious of Phil to mention John pullin. After phils steps and Jpr taking the hit John pullin kept the ball alive. John actually had a good record against the all blacks winning four times. John pullin was a fine rugby player and a modest gentleman x twice a winner with the lions once with the barbarians and on tour in new Zealand as England captain.

phil, phil who but, phil bennett. who beat the froggys.

[@dustinmeadows5996]

forward pass duh...

[@stukkak1976]

Good try, but greatest? Not even close.

[@IestynSymonds69]

It's the greatest try ever, but even if this not it's definitely very close.. what other try has ever been scored that a person steps like 5 people on his own try line, somehow got out of it and then set up a try like that.. also you have to remember it's against the all blacks..

[@stoolpigeon4285]

Best ever
