I saw Ntamack relance against the all blacks more than 100 times, still get goosebumps everytime. It is one of the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in sports history. Yes, it doesn’t end up by a try but it is definitely the game winner for France. Before that the AB were bullying France and this is how France responded. It destroyed the AB spirit and completely shifted the momentum.

[@scorp0171]

Les époques sont difficilement comparables surtout avec le Rugby Pro mais : L'équipe de France de 1994-1995, celle de l'essai du bout du monde mais surtout vainqueur des 2 tests match en Nouvelle Zélande, était meilleure que celle de 1999 mais bon cdm, demi finale en AFS contre les Boks, le contexte politique était plus fort que le sport ("Invictus"). Et encore moins comparable car encore plus ancien, dans le Rugby de son époque, le xv de France de 1987 n'était pas mal non plus car si les avants n'étaient pas aussi mobiles qu'aujourd'hui, le pack était impressionnant de puissance sur les phases statiques notamment la mêlée (Garuet-Dubroca-Ondarts en 1ere ligne), Laurent Rodriguez en 8 et dans la ligne de 3/4 juste 2 des meilleurs joueurs de l'histoire à leur poste, Sella et Blanco accompagnés de Charvet au centre et Lagisquet à l'aile + Lafond ou Cambé selon la botte.....

Baa Baas vs England at Twickenham... *Yes..it was an under strength experimental Eng side...but they should still be able to put away a bunch of 2nd stringers from an Invitational side that had only 1 weeks prep and by 1 weeks prep I mean lots of drinking classic Barbarians style. *Invitational side was made of mainly of French Top 14 players..and my oh my...that was the most exciting scintillating edge of your seat rugby I have seen in a long time... I actually felt a long lost childish feeling of exhilaration watching that game.... *The absolute cheek of the French to just throw the conventional game out the window and play with nothing but PURE INSTINCT and with a man down since the 35th min...what a game!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..FRENCH FLAIR IS ALIVE AND WELL ALLEZ LE BLEUS!!!
