I'm s South African and Springbok supporter, but it brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch this video! What a beautiful sport rugby is!!!

Being an Englishman, I have no problem in saying the Welsh players of this era were brilliant. A legendary try.

When you see Gareth Edwards enter the frame at speed it sends shivers down your spine. Like divine intervention. Amazing stuff.

JPR, wrong end of two neck high tackles, offloaded. The best try of all time by far. Never tire of watching it. Never shaved the sides. Legend. RIP

RIP Phil Bennett. Unbelievable try started by his brilliance.

Cliff Morgan's commentary still gives me goosebumps after all these years.

[bradleyford]

All these years later still brings tears to my eyes, never ever be a better try, the great commentary helps of course

JPR showing amazing patience in this clip - took 2 dangerous neck tackle’s and just got on with it. Great player… loved watching Phil Bennett side step, still the best ever IMO

This few minutes of sports is so beautiful to watch that it brings tears to my eyes

[ehruvey]

i watch this over and over.what a try. One of the best tries ever
Phil Bennet what a sidestep .Definitely one of the best flyhalfes in history to start the attack and one of the best scrumhalves in history to finish it.R.i.P phil.

William’s beheaded twice. What a team effort. “What a score” what commentary.

I'm not really big on awards but if anyone deserves recognition in rugby its Gareth.  Undoubtedly one of the greatest and I can't think of anyone better.  As a Scot I can still remember the feelings of anxiety every time he got the ball in his hands when playing against us, while simultaneously admiring his instinctive brilliance.   What a player he was.

Whilst modern rugby players may be bigger, stronger, fitter and faster, on a pure skill and thinking on rugby intelligence basis these legends are on a completely different level. Rugby was being played more on instinct and ability, not being over coached and over analyzed. This is just pure sporting brilliance.

[Mediumal]

Real men playing a real man’s game full of skill, energy and passion. Sport at the highest level of entertainment - a pure joy to watch.

Rip Phil Bennett what a legendary sports clip

[trunkable]

Still gives me shivers watching it. I remember watching it live on the BBC on Saturday afternoon.

My parents were Welsh and absolute rugby mad . My dad used to go on about the Welsh team of the 70s and all those superb players . Brings a tear to my eye when I see and hear this . He always said Gareth Edwards was the best and this is the best try ever .
