England had some serious operators in their forward pack, i keep hearing about how much fitter the players are today well these players didn't look too shabby to me both athletically and skill wise .

Serious operators, indeed. And Mike Teague couldn’t even get a game.

The french always lost their cool in those days and the English forwards especially pitbull knew how to needle them.

This just dropped into my watch list - looking at the French team - their names are still deep in my psyche - and as for the English, they are like old friends. I'm an old bugger (pulls a pipe out of cardigan pocket and eyes get that far away look) tries were three points when I first stated playing, wingers threw the ball in the lineouts - they were usually shit at that but it didn't matter as lineouts were absolutely mayhem - the ball was a distraction.

My favourite part of the violence was Moore twatting that little thug Tordo. This match was a hangover from the WC Semi final. God that Eng pack were awesome.

Art school our teacher told me 'you've got to be big and stupid' to be a rugby man. I said. 'I'm hell-bent on trouble but only 10 st.' The thug gave me a bin-liner and told me to collect rubbish all lesson. I said 'OK, I'll do it.' He said, 'Have you had any experience?' I said, 'Nah, I'll pick it up as I go along.'

The England forward pack as a whole was immense, but the backs were just awesome on the day especially David Pears who hadn’t played fly half for a while, this was a strong French squad littered with (then) legends and future legends of the game, credit has to go to Stephen Hilditch as referee tough game to ref. Also bear in mind the ball in those days was leather no little pimples on it to help. And if it got wet it weighed a lot

Webb: very underrated, but never should have been kicking for goals. Half time: no going to changing rooms, just stay on pitch, five minutes break, get some water and oranges, and get on with it.

I read somewhere that Brian Moore’s fluency in the French language assisted with the second sending off. Not sure if it’s true or not but he managed to get a couple of cheeky uppercuts in there as it kicked off.
