England rugby 1969 v Scotland

Classic England rugby 1969 backs movement with a David Duckham sidestep.

England in white, left to right

This classic England backs movement has everything!

England in white shirts running with the ball left to right.

It starts on the far side of the field midway between the halfway line and the 22 (was 25 yard) with a classic dive pass from the scrum half.

The fly half passes the ball to Duckham at inside centre who immediately passes to his outside centre, Spencer.

Spencer straightens the attack and passes to England winger who has straightened in support .

Meanwhile Duckham, who got away a pass before he was tackled, now loops around the outside and is moving at pace.

it`s not a great one, but he receives a pass.

Duckham, a tall man with a long stride and excellent handling skills , reaches back and pulls in the ball from winger Dalton(?).

He streaks for the corner - then puts in a short stride which shifts his weight and he steps inside!

Then he straightens and ...TRY! It`s all over.

He may well have made it going outside but has the skill and confidence to cut inside.

It can be crucial. He gives the kicker a much easier shot at goal when he attempts the conversion with a place kick.

Fantastic try! You may want to know more about scoring tries.
