Great video. Winterbottom is outstanding in this game. Also, I like the fact that all the players still look human and are not built like the Hulk.

Used to thoroughly enjoy Rugby Special shown early Sunday evening here in Wales. My all-time favourite live game has to be the North of England destroying a very strong New Zealand side at a wet and windy Orrell. Whenever I feel the need of cheering up, I just go to KZitem and Billy's boys provide the remedy!

Peter Winterbottom, the English JP Rives! A quiet man who shunned the limelight but what a player.

1987 was a seminal year for English rugby. Or more precisely June 8th in that year when England lost 16-3 to Wales in the quarter final in an awful exhibition of rugby, so awful that it had the good folk of NZ and OZ rolling around in hysterics for weeks. Subsequently, against all expectations the RFU finally woke up to a new world. It took the WRU another 10 years.

If Wales had gone that route much earlier their best players from that time would not have gone North to Rugby League

No, it has been severely downgraded. Putting on the white shirt of Yorkshire was next only to putting on another white shirt... never got that far unfortunately!

We have the equivalent in Wales. It's called "regionalism" and covers 70 miles south of the M4 and is based in the 3 cities of Newport, Cardiff and Swansea. Oh, and the one-horse town of Llanelli who beat the 72 All Black dirt-trackers in case you hadn't heard.

Was this when League Rugby took over from County ?

Hi Chris, yes it was just before professionalism and the leagues really took over, hence all the internationals playing. I remember Rob Andrew making a speech at one of the dinners after a county match at Morley and he hinted at the way the game would go..... and it did!!!

Love it but maybe that's why Rugby Union didn't grow with County, Divisional and club ?
