I recall turning up at yours in `75 with the Stowe Colts and some other sides. For some reason we found ourselves in a large gym before lunch. There was a long washing line with around 20 lovely salmon pink rugby shirts, drying after a wash I suppose. Lo and behold one after the other they disappeared into Stowe kit bags till there were none left. To my credit I did not partake. After lunch and the matches and before the bus of course the inquisition began. One by one they reappeared from those same kit bags and gradually the threat of a diplomatic incident subsided. There was hell to pay for the guilty when we got back to Buckingham. One of my team mates spent the rest of the season in the 2nds !

I had passed my 11plus the previous week and my grandmother had bought me a camera as a reward, I stood proudly on the West Terrace, took a few long range snaps and thoroughly enjoyed Jarret's debut! He had turned out for my home town Club, Abertillery RFC earlier in the season before turning up in Newport,

Jarrett's 19 points was an individual Welsh points record at the time. This was his debut and was 18, still in school and had never played fullback at a senior level.

As I recall, not quite true. Newport were asked by the WRU to play him at fullback the previous weekend. At half-time in that game, after a disastrous 40 mins, Newport switched him to centre

You’re right Tim, the Newport game was against Newbridge, l was there, we looked on in horror as Newbridge tormented Jarrett with high kicks all through the first half. I still have the programme from the international and my ticket, East Enclosure 7s/6d, l was just underneath the scoreboard.

I attended this game, which saw 18-year-old debutant Keith Jarrett, who at the time was still at school in Gwent, score a then-world record 19 points. But he failed to make much of an impression after it and two years later he turned to rugby league with Barrow and was again capped by Wales. However his rugby career was cut short in 1973, aged just 25, when he suffered a stroke resulting from a haemorrhage.

I remember watching the game on the television. It was played in April, cannot remember why it was so late, and I recall that Wales had lost the other three matches. I will always remember Jarrett's try. As an Engand supporter this was the start of a long dark tunnel in respect of England Wales games. The Welsh had great players.

@ 8-35...no one commented on Jarrett easily dispossessed for England's . late try! But otherwise, he had a storming game....I much prefer the old game here...quick action, slick passing, fast running and great tries. Yes, players today are super fit and muscular with powerful, relentless tackling and defending. It's made the pitch somehow smaller and fewer gaps to exploit,....most modern games are more like a war of attrition....little to excite.

Why does the scoreboard show no tries for Wales?
@drj0
Жыл бұрын
It's because a converted try is officially called a goal (it doesn't tend to be used anymore). The original meaning of “try” is that a team that had placed the ball over the opponent’s goal line had the opportunity to try and score a “goal” by kicking a conversion. Where the conversion was successful, the try & conversion showed on the scoreboard as a “goal” (along with penalty goals and drop goals), while a try represents a score where the conversion was missed. In this game, Wales kicked all their conversions so all scores were classed as “goals”, i.e. 5 converted tries, 2 penalty goals & 1 drop goal. England missed all their conversions so they scored 3 “tries” (along with 4 penalty goals).

3 minutes of injury time gone. Wales lead by 34 points to 15, England get a penalty 15 `yards` from the Welsh line and Hosen bloody kicks it for 3. It beggars belief. What was going through their heads ?? They were too far behind, but at least do it for the crowd !
