Ireland rugby 1973 v Wales

Ireland rugby 1973 and Mike Gibson shows the Welsh there are others who can cause havoc with a sidestep.


What`s going on...

Ireland in green and playing right to left are away to Wales

Mike Gibson the Irish #12 receives the ball and heads for the Welsh try-line..."Maloney to Gibson"

Gibson runs on and becomes framed on the screen between two of his supporting players.

At this point he produces a vicious sidestep by taking a small step with his right leg and throwing out his left.

He veers sharply to his right.

His potential tacklers (#14 and #15) can`t even lay a hand on him.

Surprise is complete...

His move then fires him between two wrong-footed tacklers.

The explosive nature of his sidestep and the ability do do it while maintaining momentum enabled him to crash over despite the four Welsh defenders attempting to stop him.

Fantastic sidestep!

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 17:16 mark (it seems to vary a little!).

It has the heading Mike Gibson 1973 - Wales v Ireland

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