CLASSIC HIGHLIGHTS 📼 | Wales v France 1984 |  

Great match, but couldn’t help feeling a little sad, hearing The great Nigel Starmer Smith and his heartbreaking current health problems and seeing The wonderful Eddie Butler. God bless both of them

Jeannot Lescarboura....quel drop !!!!!! Et ses pénalités des 40m avec 2 pas d'élan....de la pointe ....avec les ballons en cuir de ces années là....incroyable ! Et quel manieur de ballon....sans sa blessure aux pieds il serait devenu légendaire !

Ça fait toujours plaisir de revoir des extraits de ces anciens matchs 😉👍

My late uncle, who lived most of his life in Australia, was a huge Lescarboura fan. He thought he was the best fly half in the world in the 1980s.

@15:32 The 6 Nations just won't be the same this year..

First time I’ve seen these highlights of what was my first ever Five Nations match. It’s funny what you do and don’t remember. I have no memory of J-P Rives still playing in 1984. I was mildly surprised at seeing the final score being so relatively close as well, because my own memory of the match is that France were so much better than Wales, it was hilarious. Every time any of Blanco, Lagisquet, Sella or Esteve got the ball, the Welsh defence were terrified, such was the speed differential the French had (particularly Esteve who remains one of the fastest rugby players I’ve seen to this day). And Lescarboura, owner of one of rugby’s greatest ever noses, kicking 50-yard drop goals like it was no big deal. Lovely to see Titley, Davies, and Stephens the Bridgend boys in there as well. Great stuff

Remember this match especially the kicking of the French 10 but I didn't remember how good Dacey was for Wales , lovely balanced footballer.

Que des beaux souvenirs de ce rugby de ces magnifiques années de mon enfance, nous regardions ces matchs avec mon père et mon G. Pére le samedi Ap. Midi , j'avais 11 ans mais je m'en rappelle très bien , c'était ÇA le vrai rugby 🏉 , de la part d'un Briviste ❤ . Thank you for the video and for our friends Welsh Country , always a big and best team's rugby ❤ 😢

2 great scrum halves in the commentary box

I think this may have been the first international I ever went to with my Dad. I was 9. We were behind the posts in the West Stand.

Jp Reeves admired in South Africa❤

Lovely to see Eddie Butler ... so sad, but all other 29 starters are still with us ! Go back to the same 1974 fixture, and we've lost JPR, JJ, Phil Bennett, Walter Williams, Ian Robinson and Mervyn Davies from the Welsh side, and J.P.Lux, Foreaux, Vaquerin, Alain Esteve and Ellie Cester from the French team. We should treasure our heroes whilst we can !!

Love how the place-kickers just kick so quickly!

So the post-game handshakes started only after we stopped the fans running onto the pitch. How soon we forget. Only to remind us that most of us never got that far anyway.

Age doesn't ever fair the old. It's like digging up the dead or taking the bargain bin produce and putting it on the shelf for the new. Let's remember, but let's not rework. The age of this match detaches me from the meaning, and watching it as if it's still relevant only comes across as invasive.
