Futtocks 16,128 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Plenty of matches I'd like to watch again in that list. 1 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Chris22 1,406 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Hard to complain about this. Out of all of the highlights, the 2000 World Cup games stand out for me, and the 2001 test against Australia. 1 Quote Twitter: @TrylineUK Latest Blog: York City Knights - From Basket Case to Blueprint Link to post Share on other sites
Futtocks 16,128 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I never got to watch PSG v Sheffield, so that's a fine way to kick off the takeover. 1 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Tom Moore 81 Posted March 6 Author Report Share Posted March 6 Think I've watched the 1992 Test more often than I've watched any other game, but what's once more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Kevin Sinfield 2,350 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I’m glad this one made the list Friday, March 26 Australia vs Tonga (2019): One of the greatest international upsets of all time as Tonga defeated world champions Australia in Auckland. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just Browny 7,311 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 It's a very fine list. Quote I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Keep The Faith 580 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 The Bradford vs Leeds is a favourite of mine as Roy Powell seals the game for northern - he sort of sticks two fingers to dougie Laughton who cost him his testimonial at Leeds 1 Quote http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

Hela Wigmen 2,776 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Was trying to think of some of the lesser “famous” big games I’d like to see and come up with a few Championship/Northern Rail games; Halifax v Widnes (I think) - The one where Halifax wore a Melbourne Storm inspired shirt. Leigh v Halifax/Widnes (I think) - Northern Rail Cup Final at Blackpool, Leigh shaped for a drop goal to tie the game (IIRC) and then in true Ian Millward style, chucked it wide and won it. Batley v Leigh - Remember watching this abroad, possibly in Fuengirola very hungover but it was a good game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish they did a show a bit like NFL Americas Game where they look at the champions that year, use 4 players/coaches of that team to talk you through the year etc and show highlights of the big games with insight.. they are a fantastic 40 minute watch.. (always record them so can skip the ads). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you don't know the players involved or the teams they are still a great watch. You don't even have to be much of an American Football fan to enjoy them, any sports fan can enjoy them as they are that well produced. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spidey 3,498 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 The RL Takeover on SKY is great to have on in the background while working from home. Wales v Australia 2000 certainly was a cracking game 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
