Remember This?

I know the Rugby World Cup was really gripping, but there were few moments of magic. I can still remember this Gareth Edwards try in 1973 playing for the Barabarians against the All Blacks which is often called the greatest try of all time. Still brings a smile to your face.

It is the greatest try of all time, it has everything.
Great footwork and vision from Phil Bennet, great interpassing between forwards and backs, then the injection of pace from Gareth Edwards.

Now here is a question for you, if you were to put an all time XV together, what would it be.
