England rugby 1978 v Argentina

England rugby 1978 against Argentina - Horton and Squires show great evasion skills leading to a try by Squires. Will you be next!

Left to right, England in white

England in white tops as usual, playing left to right.

It`s a lineout for Argentina on the far side of the pitch.

They get to throw in but England steal the ball with a nice tap-back to the scrum-half.

After a couple of passes in the backs, England decide to straighten the attack with a crash ball up the centre of the field.

A bit of scrambling play by the forwards follows before the ball is sent out to Horton, the England flyhalf with the Enland three-quarters lined up outside him.

Horton is forced to change the point of attack when faced with the Argentine backs up quickly in defence.

He skirts the Argentinian forwards with a jinking run across field, keeping the ball alive.

Eventually he fires out a great pass, linking with Peter Squires, the right wing (#14) who produces a devastating burst upfield

He beats three defenders in succession with three sidesteps and manages to fight off a couple of covering forwards who tackle him close to the line.

They fling him to the ground just before the goal-line but momentum carries him over. A try is awarded not far from the posts.

GREAT try!

Excellent sidesteps!

You need this video to see it, take it in

"101 Best Tries - with Cliff Morgan" - my VCR says it`s around the 47:55 mark (it varies a bit).

It has the heading "Peter Squires - 1978 England v Argentina".

Well worth a good look.
