Involved in probably the best try ever, and arguably one of the greatest sporting moments.

Best ever last second winning try in cup semi final in a good old fashioned stadium of character.

Remember that try. Can’t believe it is over 20 years ago. Chris Joynt was also involved in the last second ‘voluntary tackle’ incident in the 2002 Grand Final. That was also against Bradford. He must have had it in for them.

Yes, he got away with the voluntary tackle. Would have cost Saints the game, ref bottled it.

Such sad news to hear about the passing of Phil Bennett, He is a Welsh rugby legend in every sense and a true gentleman.

RIP Phil and thank you for starting the move with those wonderful three side steps, which IMO lead to the greatest Rugby try of all time.

Back in the day when you didn’t need to be 6’6” and 19 stone to play international rugby. Nowadays it is just a behemoth slugfest.

Not convinced by the Kiwi Haka though. Looks like some of them didn’t learn it properly and were copying others.

Behemoth Slugfest?
Great thrash metal group, got all their albums.

I agree with you about the haka. Grant Batty is one of the few who knows what he's doing.
