- England 24-28 Ireland
Twickenham
Shane Horgan's dramatic last-gasp try saw Ireland emerge victorious from an absorbing Twickenham contest and claim a second Triple Crown in three years.
Andy Goode drew England level after 68 minutes, and when Ireland infringed at a ruck with five minutes left, the Leicester fly-half stepped up to land what appeared the winning kick.
But Ireland launched one last break-out, and despite stopping Horgan at the first attempt, Moody could not prevent him dotting down in the right corner to spark Irish celebrations.
Watch out for:
- Horgan blowing past O'Gara yet getting tackled by a flanker. As someone on youtube commented, not good.
- O'Gara getting destroyed in the maul after Horgan is first tackled
- O'Gara jumping onto Horgan and giving him a chokehold after scoring the try
- Eddie O'Sullivan's desperately lame fist pump celebration after the try was awarded.
- Andy Robinson's slouch of disgust
- Eddie O'Sullivan's desperately lame fist pump celebration after O'Gara's amazing conversion.

Had the privilege of being in Twickenham that day, I had the ref mic and started jumping around when I heard the TMO say "you may award the try". Euphoric leaving the ground and no "Swing low" shite to listen to! In my top three sporting moments!
Me too 🎉
In my view, the best Irish try of the 2000's. Overturned an English win in the final three minutes and what a reach from Horgan, one of Ireland's finest all-time wingers (and I'm a Munster fan).

O gara kick was out of this world after bril kick...nobody talks to much about that😀
@@kevincallaghan3212 It was brilliant. He could have cost us the game twice in last minute. I noticed that also.
Will never forget this game. Incredible. Screaming at the TV and jumping around like mad when that try was given. Unreal. Horgan you hero 🇮🇪❣🏉
gives me goosebumps, happy days, these guys make me proud to be irish, thanks for the memories lads
Oh god I remember being furious with Ireland kicking the ball into touch twice in the final minute. We were chronic for doing it back then, zero confidence in our ability to retain possession.
Yes. O gara kicks it out twice in the last minute. I saw him do that against France. Went for goal from too far out when we had a penalty, 70 secs left. Missed and up came les Blues to score.
Just making sure.
He kicked it out because time should have been up, but the officials hadn't restarted the clock when he was setting up the conversion. So time should've been about 90 seconds ahead. That was the message he had gotten.
And now?
It was a lack of composure that came with not being used to winning big games. I remember we on the triple crown in 04’, 06’ and 07’ and thought it was great but we kept losing to France. The 07’ in particular with Vincent Clerc at Croke Park still hurts to this day even with the titles and grand slams we have won since then.
I remember watching that when I was 8 years old,my first happy memory of Irish rugby
Funny Life, There. Ya took the Exact same Words out of my Mouth. 😰😮😃
You may award the try.... That was the magical words required... What a game.
Amazing try, amazing conversion by ROG.
That conversion was pretty intense! he soaked up the pressure well.
Especially after he had kicked fairly badly for most of the match,think he missed two or three that weren't too difficult,some balls on him
@@strawberrykicker2 He did that a dozen times for Munster, might of had a bad day overall but when he had to slot it , he nailed it.
Is that a young Nigel Owens?!?
The bounce was very favourable in that chip and chase from ROG, just like the one against Wales in 2009 Grand Slam, great skill with a bit of luck. Sexton and Murray are Ireland's most successful (and probably best) ever 9 and 10, perform well throughout the game for 80 minutes, but, Stringer and ROG had some individual moments of shear brilliance. Stringer going for the big pass in that area at that stage of the game is risky but he knew when to do it, ROG's kicking game was exceptional, cross field, for touch, penalties, conversions, the odd chip, he's one of the greats
ROG was Ireland’s best ever kicker under pressure.
Heady days indeed tremendous try by Shane big assist from Drisco and the genius at No.10 his kick ahead and never to be forgotten slotted conversion. Erin go Bragh
Probably my favourite sporting moment ever…pure Roy of the Rovers…3 pts down…2 mins left and deep in your own 22…was on my knees waiting for the TMO…
Love O'Gara's intensity! Bit of the same tomorrow thank you very much!
Remember watching that when I was 8 years old.. god time flies
Long be the days when a triple crown win for ireland were an outstanding achievement for an irish rugby team. It was a trophy though..and we loved it. Something the equivalent of a charity shield now in soccer terms.
Every time I see that try it gives me a great lift same as his try in croke Park brilliant
Thumbs up for Nigel Owens positioning!!!
I was working in a bar during that match. I am not going to lie there were a lot of thirsty punters at this stage of the game!!!
“And Ireland have stolen the game from England at the death”! - Eddie Butler type quotation.
"Shane Horgan is the hero. And what a hero." 👍
England played their best rugby of that year's tournament in this game. They can (and did) feel aggrieved at a couple of odd decisions by the officials. Horgan's first try was dubious as Horgan appeared to step on the tramline before racing to cross the tryline. Denis Leamy's try was perfectly legal, but it came from a lineout that was given after Ben Cohen had legally thrown the ball to himself after gathering from an Irish kick to touch. That said, this try was superb, and off a good scrum from a front row that had been pummelled by Julian White and Andrew Sheridan throughout the entire match. O'Gara's conversion was sublime. What a pity that we couldn't beat the French in Paris that year.
Probably the best free flowing Ireland England game ever played. Absolutely brilliant game.
Couldn't give a toss if Horgan was slow (he could fairly shift in my eyes...), he was a brute and just bulldozed players out of his way in a Lomu-esque style. Gave us a victory over the English so I'm not gonna complain.
"It looks good ... and they're going upstairs." ☘
There are two very good pieces of rugby here, Moody's tackle at 0.13 is very impressive too.
And now we got O'Gara & Horgan as panalists on RTE1.......CLASS!
The happiest of many happy days .
Why the hell did O'Gara kick it out with 20 seconds left on the clock, specifically after being told 'No' by the referee? Gave England another shot at a try, could have been disastrous. His decision-making baffled me at times. Lucky we won!
Could not hear at the time, noise was deafening. Majestic kicking and saved Stringers ass in the end. Stringer should have thrown it back for easy touch.
Once more into the breach
Brilliant by Hogan what magic
But will we ever see a diamond outhalf like O'Gara again.
Ireland lives in hope!!!
no we'll see one who's a far more rounded player, isn't a liability in defence and is more of a threat to the opposition try line with ball in hand
Walter White we have Jonathan Sexton now. Without the best OH to ever play for Ireland.
@@inBODwetrust13 think you're forgetting that it was O'Gara who started that move out of nothing,it was O'Gara who hit the ruck first after Horgan got tackled short of the line, who kicked the touchline conversion after not kicking well all game? remind me of that please.remind me also who was 6 nations top try scorer in 2007? We're incredibly lucky that a player of the brilliance of sexton was there to replace o gara towards the end of his career, but to basically say he was shit as you more or less did, shows you know nothing about rugby
@@jasonsmith4483 I think you spelled Jack Kyle incorrectly there
4:00 wasn't that out on the full??
OpalSnr That was before the rule change. Then, you could pass the ball back into the 22 and kick out on the full, whereas now of course if that were to happen today the line out would be from where the ball was kicked.
OpalSnr they didn’t have that rule back then
Always hated Stringer's look to put the ball out himself - it wasn't just the once he did it. Pass it to your out-half and let him put it out.
EoinFC shut up u muppet
Jamie O Toole I speaketh the truth.
***** Twasn't his job. Give it to O'Gara, that was his job.
EoinFC we won so shut up u clown
The grin on the refs faces , who wouldnt be delighted in that moment .
This is my happy place.
Ronan Balls O'Gara
What about that kick from O Gara on the touchline to put it to 4 point game.
lewis moody was incredible in this vid
You do know that Horgan started out his career as a forward?
I dunno when his career started, but I know he was in the centre when I played against him at U16.
Eirinn go brach
Lewis moody is awesome
Some block at the end.
That's a kick Sexton would barely ever get in between the posts. Best place kicker Ireland ever had was Rog.
What are you on about
@@NosajKnows Your Ma! If you seriously think Sexton was a better goal kicker than Rog you haven't a clue. Sexton is the best outhalf we have ever had (can't speak for Jack Kyle) but Sexton can't touch Rog for goal kicking.
Not true. ROG was overrated as place kicker. If someone can access whole career %, I am pretty sure Sexton may have better ones than ROG overall. That was a great kick though.
Sexton have been an overall better player than ROG and that is a fact.
Sexton blows O’Gara away in every other facet of the game
Pity that ROG couldn't even tackle a tackle bag.
For a south Dublin lad, Horgan was a tough lad!
He is from Meath
@@johnkinsella4802 like fuck he's from meath, have u heard him talk?
@@ritchiemullins6384 According to his wikipedia page he was indeed born in Meath.
@@ritchiemullins6384 Haha owned!
Was o garas kick with a minute to go not out on the full
Hail mary fromm stringer works nice
ngl it's pretty disgraceful how a winger can't outrun and beat a number 7 to the line. like respect Moody being a fast player and all but come on, it looks like Horgan had a fair bit of a head start
Horgan actually started off as a flanker lol.
Flankers aren’t slow and Shane Horgan was never the fastest winger
Moody was ahead & already moving faster as Horgan received. Then Horgan slowed down instead of just racing for the line to ensure possession.
But let's face it he was never Habana
This iteration of the England side were even worse than the 2021 bunch.
Even if he was one of the greatest wingers in Irish history its dosent mean much.
This was when Ireland were pretty shite, if they won a meaningless title like the triple crown they would consider that as success!!!
And we have Simon Zebo now :D
Horgan is slow
how the hell did that try stand??
o'driscoll was clearly ahead of the kicker, absolute joke
Poor lad
Calm down
He wasn’t though. Pause the video at 0:04 and look at the angle of the line vs the angle of O’Driscoll to O’Gara. He’s clearly level or just behind the kicker
