[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 729382, member: 71068"] If it was referred to the tmo in this day and age it still wouldn't be a forward pass because his passing motion was backwards and momentum took it forward. It's ridiculous that people over analyse decade old plays with the intention of discrediting them. It was the 70's the game was looser, and slower, and those guys countered in their own 22 and went the length of the pitch to score a magnificent try in the opening minutes of a game against the AB's. The support running and vision is remarkable even by today's standards and that try, and that game, captured the imagination of and influenced a generation of players the world over. It pretty much formed the ethos future barbarian's games were played in. It's a bit churlish to make out otherwise. [/QUOTE]
