The Greatest Era in Rugby
by GloriousEmpire Mon 10 Jun 2013, 8:59 pm
First topic message reminder :
A poster on another thread made a casual comment that Rugby saw it's finest years between 1997 and 2004. Contentious or Concensus?
What is the opinion of my fellow 606v2-ers?
The re-emergence of SA replete with RWC victory in 1995 and the arrival of Jonah Lomu, ushering in an era of rugby super-stars probably pips it for me.
What is your opinion? What was rugby's finest hour? or is it yet to come?

For me it's 1990 - ????
Why.......well I played my first senior game at 16yrs old and still not hung my boots up.
So the greatest ere is still going until I retire from the game

The greatest era in Welsh rugby was between 1998 and 2000, How do i know this? Shane Howarth said it was.

The greatest era in rugby belongs to Graham Rowntree.

This is a great example of what rugby used to look like...
Lions vs BaaBaa's in 1977.
BaaBaa's featuring Edwards, Gerald, Jpr, Milne, JP Reve
Lions Bennett, McGeechan, Laidlaw, Fenwick, Grav
A phenominal game of rugby.
