Anybody remember a try by David Humphreys around ten years ago when we were awarded a penalty on the touchline around the 22? He went through the routine of setting up the ball but, when the opposition had all gone over to the posts, he picked up the ball and sprinted in for a try. I assume he may have warned the ref, who had not signalled for the shot at goal.

Or am I just dreaming?

I remember Neil Jenkins doing that for Wales against Fiji but further back.... maybe 20 years ago.

The veteran made amends shortly after the restart when, after shaping to take a penalty, Irish turned their backs and Humphreys tapped the ball and dashed over in the corner. He then made the conversion.

Neil McMillan scored, he was great until injury got the better of him.

And Michael Lynagh on punditry duty criticised him for unsportsmanlike conduct, whereupon Sky dug up footage of him doing the exact same thing.

Trimble really was incredible. Remember his two against Toulouse back in the day as well.

I wonder did Anthony Allen think he was in for a try right before 1F wiped him out...

1F v Scarlets has to be worth a shout.

He sure was, remember another back row David Pollock also lost his battle with injury. In a parallel universe both would have had long careers with Ulster.

Pollock would have been a Lion for sure.

Jeez Big Pedrie was some player.
The commentators were using adjectives in relation to our forward play that I haven't heard in many a day.

Both of Trimby's tries.
I don't know how anyone can make a highlight reel of that match without including the conversation where Poite asks Murphy if he's enjoying himself.
