What a player. Remember a Rugby dinner with Finley Calder. (Winning Lions Captain, and grand Slam winner. ) He said he was disappointed he was unfit for the Lions in 1989. Because he would have been immense for us.
Indeed....the superb piece was Guscott driving through the French like an English Longbow arrow at Agincourt. Wish we had him in Wales during his day. Superb player
Are you serous? More tries are being scored in the 6 Nations today than in this era of European rugby, where a 6-3 fulltime result was considered exciting.
This vid reminds me of a story Buck Shelford telling about a test in the 80s in France ... He said looking into their eyes before the game he’d swear they were on the juice ... look at these French here ... madmen
Technically there is no home side as it's a rugby world cup quarter-final with all matches supposedly neutral locations. But of course the hosts are playing in their own country. So it could have been listed either EvF or F v E.
@Jeremy Merrifield that's a good point, but it might depend how the draw is constructed and which group the teams came out of, e.g., Winner group A v Runner up group B
Dooley was a nasty bit of work. I remember seeing him smash his elbow into the back of Doddie Weir's head out of sight of the referee, as they were jogging off for half time!
From Wikipedia: For much of rugby's history, a mark could be made anywhere on the field, but under more stringent conditions: the marking player had to have both feet on the ground at the time of calling "Mark!", the defending side were allowed to advance as far as the mark in defending against the subsequent kick, and the kick itself had to propel the ball at least as far forward as the mark (in conjunction with the second stipulation, this effectively prevented the marking side from keeping possession with a tap-kick). However, under these restrictions a goal could be attempted. In the 1970s the mark was changed to the definition given above, except that it could be made anywhere in the defending side's 22; it is no longer a requirement that the marking player have both feet on the ground.
Yellow? Arm to the head with force... he would be lucky to get yellow under current climate. But even then, taking him out without the ball should have been a penalty to France but we had no TMO back then so people got away with a lot more than they do now.

'Superb try'. I think you are over-egging the pudding with that title...

Haha! Lolz! 😀
I think you'll find the superb part was Brian Moore's throw
Contrast with modern day full backs who really come forward and aggressively own the space below the ball. Webb was dire under that high ball.
Ah the great days of amateur rugby instead of the pumped up gym bunnies of today, much more exciting games too. 6 nations today is pretty boring.
You watched this year, right?

@@MobKnowledge yes all against Italy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will Carling was superb at tackling at the ball
I really enjoyed the little facts along the video.
One of the best England teams ever.

I always find the old line outs so strange to see
How can you post this clip without Skinners tackle?
It was not England vs France but France vs England in Paris, in the quaterfinal of the World Cup.

@@davidchave223 alphabetically it had to be England Vs France

@@davidchave223 My head hurts lol. It was a great game and for once England won. So I am joyous. Take care
Just a little nudge from Dooley on the Frenchman at the lineout😀!

When were players first allowed to make a mark in the air?
From Wikipedia: For much of rugby's history, a mark could be made anywhere on the field, but under more stringent conditions: the marking player had to have both feet on the ground at the time of calling "Mark!", the defending side were allowed to advance as far as the mark in defending against the subsequent kick, and the kick itself had to propel the ball at least as far forward as the mark (in conjunction with the second stipulation, this effectively prevented the marking side from keeping possession with a tap-kick).

@@mapryan Bonkers that the French player at 1:45 didn't take one then.
more like Jerry Guscott superb try
Jeremy Guscot was the highlight there! Carling was a fkn muppet .
That would be a penalty to France and a yellow card now

it wasn't carling who scored it was Underwood
Looks like they mean the winning try at the end, where WC rips it and scores
Wrong it was Carling.
Underwood score the first try.
Mark didn't exist at that time? Last try would have been disallowed nowadays
Different rules. You had to have both feet in the ground
You had to have feet on the ground for a mark back then
that was not a mark in 1991.
looked like guscott did all the work
Good try for a forward, but seen better by a centre.
Miles forward
Never heard of him. Unusual name. Who is Miles Forward?
@@only1utdanditsleeds I did what you see there.
Yet again the frogs spanked by Ros Bif
And it’s a forward pass for England...
You know the CM is english when the word "superb" is used for... that.
And regarding how controversial was this game, it's even more embarrassing.
Great refereeing
So wheres will's try..🧐
Its good but its not quite...
Well refereed???? a blatent ( typically English foul )at 2:00 !!
Also typically French, Australian, South African, Welsh, NZ, Italian.....yaawn.....zzzzzzzz.
what a bullshit try (that last one). That wasn't a bloody try.
Superb LOL.
shame to england and refeering
Princess Diana's fav 😉😜
Average try from a average player !
Final score? Was it a pool match? Who won? WTF? Seriously, you could give more info in your videos. Is this just being lazy or you just don't care?
They don't care. England won, it was quarter final
It's a lot better than the video of this match you have posted
@@attaboy8286 Surely you know ????
@@jeremymerrifield219 i'm sure
@@attaboy8286 Sorry I went crossed eyed. That was meant for Martin. Too much wine too early. 🤓🤓
