Wasn't rugby more exciting, & with Bill Mclaren commentating ,brill.

Miss Bill McLaren . The voice of rugby through my schoolboy days !!

[@stanmonzon5788]

Just think…somewhere in Auckland, an 8 year old Jonah Lonu was watching this, and idolising players like Dusty Hare and thinking, ‘One day that’ll be me!’

Real men, real rugby.

RIP Bill McLaren

No faffing about with kicking tees!

[@Akamoke2021]

Im guessing the scottish tactic that day was to get the ball behind Dusty Hare, he was a tortoise :)

[@douglasstewart3889]

He was truly mince defensively.

This was the days only public school boys got picked for England, boring boring England can't score a try we used to say, Wales and Scotland were more about player abilitie than there job, then along came Jerry Guscott and it all changed, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Rubbish. This was the year that Rory Underwood made his debut.

[@philipmarsden7104]

Absolute rot! Many if not most, went to grammar schools. Rory Underwood and Peter Winterbottom are the only two I'm sure were public schoolboys and perhaps one or two others might have been ( Nick Youngs and David Cooke). Don't forget there were 22 in the squad that season. Just reworking your comment might be a good idea.
