I enjoy rugby union internationals not involving England more than I enjoy football ones not involving them nowadays.
100% agree. I don’t bother with England international footy anymore. Open offer to anyone on here, if you want tickets for Twickenham, I’m happy to supply. Will do freebies where I can. Face value if not. @dennisboothstash had tickets for the last game. Always happy to help out the 606 family
England looked like the ye were going to blow them away after ten minutes Now it’s a real dour battle
Yes indeed. The kicker is still around. Will be 95 now. His grandson used to be a regular poster on City Independent.
not Brid!!! Old age is a terrible thing What is the longest goal kick in rugby? Wales full-back Paul Thorburn holds the record for the longest successful kick in an international rugby when his penalty against Scotland in the 1986 Five Nations Championship. He belted a penalty from the sodden National Stadium turf 70 yards eight-and-a-half inches or 64.2 metres against Scotland.
I didn't say International Rugby, I said rugby. It is in the Guinness Book Of Records as well. https://worldrugbymuseum.com/from-the-vaults/clubs/the-longest-kick-in-rugby-football He still gets drinks bought on the backof it. When Brid played at Twickenham in a final a few years back numerous Twickenham people and the opposition were aware of him and were buying him drinks. I dread to think what your memory will be like when you reach my age.
Doesn't get more official than the Guinness Book Of Records and this - https://worldrugbymuseum.com/from-the-vaults/clubs/the-longest-kick-in-rugby-football
