Tom David's hilarious take on 'That Try' (Baa-baas vs All Blacks 1973)

Sir Gareth Edwards beckoned Tom David onto the stage at the Penderyn 'That Try' Single Malt Whisky launch at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff on June 10th 2015. This is what happened next...

Tom David ..All the timing of a brilliant stand up , beautifully told and all the passion of an old school Sunday Teacher .....So very funny ,brilliant ...But you sure dont want to be on the other side when these 2 guys were at their best and in their Pomp !!..

[@colinmcclure4424]

Totally brilliant, Gareth Edwards, Tom David and of course THAT try.

As a Kiwi, usually it hurts when someone scores against NZ. Not this time. If you didn't love that score you didn't love rugby. It still gives me goose bumps watching it as the great Cliff Morgan brilliantly narrates. Unforgettable. And what a character Tommy David is, too. A born story teller. But I don't like it when I google his name and up comes: "Tommy David, *Rugby league* player". It ought to say Rugby union. Tommy, issue them a warning to change it or they'll be visited by a Welsh front five. 😉

[@lengthmuldoon]

Just hearing the commentary brings me out in goose bumps

[@nickthefox72]

I would love to see tom David on a show where he tells some of his stories, what an entertaining man I bet

[@kevintrace5396]

[@basilguts1786]

That’s how you tell a story.👍

Brilliant! I was 9 years old when I watched that game on TV. I grew up to play rugby for my local club, The Gentlemen of Moore RUFC (for better or worse for 27 years off and on). On the morning before the first game of the season every year I used to watch that game on video (for the younger ones, that's like streaming but it involves putting a tape into a machine) Just to make sure that I knew what our game should be and what we were aiming for. I/we never came close but it's the thought that counts. And these guys went for a beer or several with the opposition after the match. Rugby is not just about playing.

Golden bollocks! What a witty man!

[@Del-yv1qy]

That try......plenty of tries out there in todays game.

[@iancurtis1152]

John Dawes "a great dummy"

[@steffanhoffmann]

Is Edwards speaking English? Come to think of it Tom David.....

[@steffanhoffmann]

Thanks for taking it, the way I meant it to be. Humorous. These days with Woke bla de bla, you might even be construed, as to be offending the cat.

[@Trajan2401]

That pass to Gareth Edwards though hmm.

[@benwoods1843]

Can't understand what he says about Phil Bennett

[@speleokeir]

1:18 "People say that was skill. It was sheer bastard fright!"

[@paulcaswell2813]

ROFL!
