Legendary commentary of Bill MacLaren. Always loved his rugby commentary 🇿🇦

Hearing Bill McLarens commentary is so nostalgic, what a top bloke, love from Cape Town. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇿🇦

I miss the dulcet tones of Bill McLaren. He is the voice of my youth watching All Black tours to the UK

When rugby was worth watching and supporting.

I remember that day well, because I was there. The English had been so gung-ho the whole week before the game saying how they only had to turn up to win, but David Sole's decision for the team to march slowly onto the pitch instead of at the usual sprint was a masterstroke! Nobody expected it, least of all the English and the roar from the crowd was more deafening than usual! England were never going to win after that and that spine-tingling rendition on Flower Of Scotland from the Murrayfield crowd. If I'm not mistaken, that was the first time the Corries' folksong was adopted as Scotland's official anthem at Murrayfield!

One of the best days of my life !. I was bar-manager of a pub in Morrison Street so we were always packed when the rugby was on - the night before both of our bars were packed with English fans who were wearing T-shirts with 'England Grand Slam 1990' and they also had balloons with the same message !. On the morning of the game preparations went so well we had 45 minutes to kill before opening time and one of the girls had found a whole box of these balloons so I got all the staff to blow as many up as possible and with felt-tip pens added to the message 'F***** BY SCOTLAND 1990 !' and plastered the bar with them !. To this day I don't know how many england fans noticed the 'amended' balloons BEFORE the gamers but, by christ, we made sure they did AFTER that game !

7:41 Damian Cronin gives me a big hug. I’m the blue trench coat and green scarf. Still habe that scarf. That picture was all over every Sunday paper in the Uk. Quality!!

I remember that brilliant Scotland!

Brilliant stuff! Just finished reading The Grudge, and this compilation makes a great companion to that. What doesn't come through in that book - but does in this video - is how good Gary Armstrong was at tidying up messy ball. What an operator!

Now that’s how to ruck a ball. Pity it can’t happen today, the game would be so much better for it. Always brings a smile when I hear Mr McLaren on commentary, great memories.

That's the best attack I've ever seen from Scotland with plenty of skills and support play 👍

The white shark, John Jeffrey. Un sacré client.

Scotland - reigning Five Nations Champions

33 years ago. Bloody hell.

Bloody awesome.

Was my birthday that day best present ever 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Aye. That wis braw.

Troisième ligne légendaire.

Will never forget that day worst hangover ever what a game

Finley Calder 13. England 7.

Waz that Sean Lineen from New Zealand?

Watching Scotland play without hearing bill McLaren's voice just seems so wrong now. I had just started playing rugby at this point, and after playing for over 30 years, its sometimes hard to remember that a try was once worth 3 points and a conversion 1 lmao. Also: How good was Armstrongs kicking? even great Kickers like Finn Russell and Hoggy cant match that

I remember this match very well. I was sitting in my clubhouse at Luton Rugby club with a beer in my hand.I was gutted. According to this video though, England didn't score!

Only 23 years ago! Hard to believe it was not so long ago.

Strange being a kiwi love the Scottish anthem when the Scottish people sing as one. Just saying.

Just greatness, now mediocre 2023. Me. Aroha for the great game.

3.30 May I assume that this `fly through` was recorded more recently than 1990 ?

Beating the engerlusheroonies no big deal these days….

Crazy that the TMO wasn't called on some of them tries

was yhis the lowest number of tries to win a gs?

Shonky bit of editing in the Wales match.

A l'époque l'Irlande n'était pas celle d'aujourd'hui

England thought all they had to do was turn up, however David sole had other ideas. They can be just as obnoxious as their footballing counterparts, except with a different shaped ball.

Knock on before first try

Great day....but Stainger lost control... everyone knows it.

Scotland all tartan

Ha ha, let me know when it happens again. I could do with a good laugh.😂😂

when scotland were half decent

Brian Moore wrote that as soon as he saw Jeffrey on the wrong side and getting away with it that he knew that Eng were stuffed. And Stanger bounced the ball over the line.

And then it took Scotland another 10 years to beat England 😅

Oh ... when stanger touched the ball down on his own leg......no try...!

33 attempts later.....still no slam, no championship, or even a triple crown.

Have Scotland ever won a six nations or a world cup or is this their highlight at least England lernt from this and moved on to bigger things, grand slams, 4 world cup finals just saying 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

this is rugby in my playing days unfortunately the modern game today has ruined the game

That first try is how to pass and move the ball. No going to ground to set up a phony ruck like in today's game.

It's unfortunate that in the Grand Slam decider, the referee from New Zealand, did not play advantage. The game would have been so much better.
