Remember watching this as a kid on the “Crowning Glory” VHS, narrated by Cliff Morgan. Great stuff.

Recall it well. Bill McLaren described it as “one of the great moments of this international championship campaign”. One of the few capped by the Lions before his country. Hair's on the back of my neck stood up when I watched and I'm English!

I see your Dad in the Colliers, Furnace sometimes and there's a corridor from the toilet. My plan is to get some of those cardboard supermarket coppers and line them up for when he comes out of toilet for a good barge.
