Every time a prop scores a try, the expected response is:

"he will have run that one in from 50 yards throwing a couple of dummies and a sidestep by the time he's in the bar tonight..."

But that is exactly what happened today. Now every try by a prop will be compared to Gethin Jenkins' effort at the 2011 World Cup. king

I had to laugh when I seen him do the sidestep but he reverted back to being the charging bull five yards out.

His Grand slam try in 2005 was better, only because he made Rog look like a naughty naughty boy thumbsup

They also always say that will be a story for the dressing room, and by the time they get to the hotel, the 40 meter run has become 70 meters. Shocked

That's the front row union for you.

"of course, it was almost as good as the 60 yarder I scored against Taranaki in '93..."

Geth's an inspiration to all of us rotund wingers, scoring a beautiful 90 metre try like that.

And he had the good grace to not go wild in celebration and actually be out of breath.

It did make a pleasant change that he did not do one of his famous swan dives.

I was disappointed he had nothing left in the tank for the swallow dive - Also liked Gareth Thomas's version where he was convinced that 15 yards from the line Geth could smell the burger van and just went for it thumbsup

Burgers? If he'd do that for Beef I'll spit roast a side of my father in law's finest Longhorn beef behind the goalposts!

I liked Brian Moores tweet.

Gethin Jenkins is officially out of the front row union for that try.

Love it

I personally think gethin will have to bulk up a bit if he wants to play midfield. Whistle

i told my boys it would be dissalowed because he was a prop. fortunately they know enough about the game to know i was teasing them.

great try. we watched it a few times.
