France rugby 1974 v England

France rugby 1974 and Jean-Pierre Romeu breaks out with a sidestep and is there to finish off the try.

What`s going on...

France are in the blue shirts playing right to left

Romeu hacks the ball ahead and race after it...

"Brilliant pick up by Romeu" says the commentator as

Romeu picks up the ball and sprints towards the English full back, who is just out of picture to the left.

The full back shows Romeu the touch line but Romeu has other ideas!

With a short step on his left leg and a thrust of his right leg...

Romeu sidesteps left just as he crosses halfway...

...the England player left grasping at air.

Great sidestep!

Play continues downfield...

...with Romeu dummying several times before passing..

... big number 8 Claude Spanghero carries the ball on...

and off-loads with a clever reverse flick pass to

...would you believe it...

Jean-Pierre Romeu, backing up goes in to score!

Great try!

I need to see it!...

It's on the rugby video tape "101 Best Tries - with Cliff Morgan" - my VCR says it`s around the 21:15 mark (it seems to vary a little!).

It has the heading Jean-Pierre Romeu - 1974 France v England.

Use slow motion. Study it - it`ll come in useful.
