THE 10 GREATEST MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE SIX NATIONS

By Stuart Barnes - Former England Rugby Union Player and now Sky Sports
Commentator, January 18, 2019

 

The 2019 Six Nations ended at Twickenham with an epic of utter insanity as
Scotland fought back from a 31 point deficit to draw with England. Not for the
first time, England looked vulnerable when opposition gained any degree of
ascendancy. The same cannot be said for Wales. A grand slam and a tactical
masterpiece of a performance against Ireland from the first minute try on.
Ireland looked a team a year out of time. There is much work to be done for Joe
Schmidt, much dreaming to be done by a Welsh public whose team are deservedly
ranked two in the world. Wonderful for Wales, dismal for Italy who continue to
lose although France, poor again, were fortunate to beat them in Rome.  

 


1) 2002: JASON ROBINSON’S BRILLIANT TRY (FRANCE 20 – 15 ENGLAND) 

 

England huffed and puffed to defeat in Paris but Jason Robinson's try, one
attacker against three defenders, was a reminder that there remained room for
genius in the game. It wasn't the greatest pass he received from Matt Dawson at
base of the scrum, so what? His balance and acceleration was a moment I'll never
forget.




2) 2003: JOHNNY WILKINSON’S DROP GOAL (IRELAND 6 – 42 ENGLAND)

 

To English fans a Wilkinson drop goal was a thing of beauty. The one dropped off
his `wrong' right foot in the Grand Slam 6-42 rout of Ireland in Dublin summed
up the efficiency of Martin Johnson's team as well as sending out a warning to
the Wallabies of what was coming their way later that year in the World Cup
final.




3) 2004: YACHVILI SCORES GRAND SLAM DECIDER (FRANCE 24 – 21 ENGLAND)

 

Dimitri Yachvili's clever grubber kick and chase try was the moment when France
were revenged for the semi final loss in Australia. It was the highlight of a
masterful performance from the Biarritz scrum half as he kicked the goals and
made this soon to be Grand Slam French team's only other try.

4) 2005: SUBERB GAVIN HENSON PERFORMANCE (WALES 11 – 9 ENGLAND)

 

A choice of two moments; don't say I am not generous. One, Gavin Henson dumps
England's Matthew Tait on his backside or, 2, with England leading 9-8, the
glitteringly talented Welshman thumps a long range penalty to beat their enemy
as Cardiff rings out with hymns and arias, songs and praises.




5) 2007: THE ANTHEMS FROM IRELAND VS ENGLAND AT CROKE PARK (IRELAND 43 – 13
ENGLAND)

 

More a matter of atmosphere than anything else, the silence at Croke Park when
the English anthem was played made fools of those who promised seething
animosity in the home of Gaelic sport. It was a triumph for Anglo-Irish spirit,
not to mention Paul O' Connell, who gave an inspired, towering second row
performance



 


6) 2009: RONAN O'GARA GRAND SLAM WINNING DROP GOAL (WALES 15 – 17 IRELAND)

 

Staying with an Irish theme, Ronan O' Gara's long range drop goal in the
78th minute in Cardiff put Ireland ahead against Wales and two minutes from
their first Grand Slam in 61 years. The moment his Munster achievements were
matched in the green of Ireland.




7) 2013: ORQUERA’S MAGICAL MOMENT (ITALY 23 – 18 FRANCE)

 

Luciano Orquera popped up to give a second half try scoring and what would prove
match winning pass to the operatic Martin Castrogiovanni as Italy stunned
France. It rounded off the day when the ungainly Italian fly half played like
Barry John. A week later he was dreadful against Scotland. The ultimate rugby
case of hero to zero.

<

 


8) 2017: DALY’S MATCH-WINNING TRY FINAL (WALES 16 – 21 ENGLAND)

 

Elliot Daly dives into the corner for a 75th minute match winning score which
will enable England to successfully defend their Six Nations title. What is so
memorable about the moment is the quality of George Ford's pass to Owen Farrell
and then Farrell's inch perfect delivery to the Wasps winger. English magic in
the land of wizards.

9) 2018: INCREDIBLE LAST SECOND DROP GOAL FROM JOHNNY SEXTON TO WIN THE MATCH
(FRANCE 13 – 15 IRELAND)

 

...and the clock ticked on. Ireland were behind and going through the phases in
Paris. The commentators were beginning to run out of phrases when Johnny Sexton
decided enough was enough. He stepped up – more than 40 metres out at the end of
an exhausting game in conditions too soft for a kicker - and proceeded to send
the perfect strike through the posts. Had the kick been to win a Grand Slam and
not a first Six Nations game it would have a play written about it by now.

<


 


10) 2019: ALUN WYN JONES STUNNING PERFORMANCE AGAINST IRELAND (WALES 25 – 7
IRELAND)



 
My man and moment of the tournament was all wrapped up in Welsh skipper, Alun
Wyn Jones. Ireland, 19-0 down, kicked a restart out on the full. The Welsh
skipper sprinted, twenty metres ahead of his team mates, first man at the scrum,
first man in every way.
