Lions Classic: Underwood scores against New Zealand in 1993

The 1993 Test series was as hard fought as any in the history of contest between The British & Irish Lions and New Zealand.

In this classic try, Dewi Morris, Jeremy Guscott and Rory Underwood combine in a sequence of beautifully timed passes to give the Lions a crucial score in the second Test, a match the Lions would go on to win.

I've seen better all round wingers than Rory Underwood however i haven't seen a better finisher in the five decades i have been watching the game, he didn't look particularly powerful yet as people in the know will tell you he was somewhat of a physical freak, some guys don't look powerful yet even without intensive training they can do things that defy their appearance. The triple jumper Jonathan Edwards was similarly blessed in his sport and a great called CB Fry was another similarly blessed.
