If we had film of them., the 1959 Lions scored some unbelievable tries as did the 1971 and 1974 teams.

All brilliant tries. The Sean O'Brien try was a magnificent team effort but for me, that Bentley try was really an amazing piece of skill.

@thelastemperor3704 20 күн бұрын

A mate of mine was mates with Bentley and he persuaded him to come down and do some guest coaching a few times. This was when he was well past his prime and if I remember correctly had either retired or was playing amateur rugby for a local team. Anyway, we played touch rugby at the end of the sessions with him joining in. We had a couple of guys who were really rapid and he was still able to make them look fairly pedestrian so I can only imagine how quick he must have been when he scored the try shown here. It was a real eye opener, believe me.

I remember watching the Bentley try live on TV at the time. It seemed to mark a turning point in the whole tour. Up till then, things hadn't gone too well. They'd won games without looking too great and even lost the previous provincial game. After that one try, everything seemed to go better - at least that's how it seemed to me watching - and of course the Lions won the Test series.

The answer to the question posed is no, they are not and it is pathetic to claim otherwise.The tries shown are all fairly recent and omit any scored during the wonderful Lions tours in the 1970’s, in particular against New Zealand and South Africa. Two winning test series against the two hardest teams the Lions play against.
