Barbarians v New Zealand 1973

First topic message reminder :

I just wanted to acknowledge that it is the 40th anniversary of that memorable game and that memorable try today. I was at the game as an11 year old with my mate David Howells from Glynneath. First ever game of international rugby I ever watched. Stuck at the front of the South Enclosure up against the green railings - surreal. I remember Grant Batty trying to fight 1/2 the Baa Baas right in front of us. Great memory of a Brian Williams tackle in full flight. I remember me and Dai watching the players walk to the ground with their kit bags on their backs.What a day and "what a score"

I was speaking of Twickenham. My last experience with my son (England vs Argies about 3yrs ago) included bad weather, poor corner seat, poor food, Nike logo advertising stunt before k/o, purple shirts, chatting crowd ignoring the game, and getting up middle of play to get drinks / food / go to loo. It was a poor experience. I have also been on the 'corp' end of things, hostng some customers. Eng v Wales 2010, which was a lot nicer.
But Joe punter tickets stuck in the corner, no thanks.
I was at the Millenium in 1999 for RWC opener and the RWC final. Cardiff central is fun around the bars etc. Railway service in /out on both days was totally crap though, even to the nearest English shire where I live.
