Sports reviews of 1973 All Blacks vs Barbarians DVD

Customer Review: lives up to the hype!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This match makes for a fascinating contrast to the more recent DVDs available. There isn't the gloss of, say, the World Cup DVDs that feature scores, elapsed time, lineouts lost, etc, in an on-screen box. The rules are also a bit different--not just the 4-point tries, but lineouts are much more a 50-50 proposition. The All Blacks haka seems a bit pale compared to nowadays, and it's odd to see the Barbarians in a mix of different-colored socks--reds, blues, etc. There are a lot more scrums than we might be used to.

But what you get here is a very open running game--dashing and dodging up and down the field, long jinking runs, great open-field tackles, and the like. Much of the kicking for points is straight-on rather than soccer-style from the side--American football was going through a similar transition at the same time in terms of kicking. What is also memorable is the constant singing by the crowd. All in all, a most enjoyable DVD!

Description of 1973 All Blacks vs Barbarians DVD

#88849 The Barbarians vs the All Blacks, Cardiff Arms Park, January 1973 was without a doubt one of the best rugby matches ever played. The All Blacks' highly successful tour was coming to a close, only a draw against Ireland had prevented them from achieving the Grand Slam. The Barbarians' side included some of the truly great players of the era, men such as Bennett, Carmichael, Duckham, Edwards, Gibson, McBride, Slattery, Pullin and JPR Williams. The All Blacks too had players who will never be forgotten, Batty, Going, Kirkpatrick, Wyllie and Lambert. The game is best remembered for Gareth Edwards extraordinary fourth minute try which still ranks as one of the best tries ever scored. The Try is still used today as an outstanding illustration of the spirit of not just the Barbarians, but of the sport of Rugby Football. This pure rugby moment of a lifetime has been immortalized on this US format DVD. This high quality DVD features segments of the occasion that you probably haven't seen before; the players pitch inspection, the singing crowds, the pre match warm up, the anthems, the Haka and 80 minutes of the best rugby ever played. This DVD includes the original full BBC Rugby Special (in color) transmission from January 1973. Commentary is provided by the BBC's Cliff Morgan. A must have for any rugby enthusiasts library. It's a game you will never forget.
