Bravo again Dom Pedro.
I am a bit worried about Paddy's commentary however. Since the Grayson kick that was charged down was taken in our half, can it really be a clearance? Several dreadful errors by LI ending in a wonderful bounce and Catt magic. Lovely.
I hope we can have an archive on the new SC.

Paul, that might be a little like the All Blacks V Munster in '78. RTE didn't send any cameras as the AB's were bound to spank Munster. That sort of footage would be worth fortunes nowadays.

Gabriel, one good thing about these clips is that if you watch them to the end they will appear in your Internet Explorer cache. If you find where your 'Temporary Internet Files' are stored on your machine then you should find tryN.wmv where N is the number of the clip - so this most recent one is try7.wmv. If you copy that file to another folder then you'll have a permanent copy of the clip.

Paul, what year was that match? The RFU tv's archive gets a bit patchy if you go back more than about 3 seasons.

Dom
It was a cup game from 2000, see below. Someone at the club must have a copy?

London Irish 47 Leicester 7
Jan 29, 2000 - Brilliant London Irish stormed into the Tetley's Bitter Cup quarter-finals as outclassed Leicester suffered a record-breaking defeat at The Stoop.

The Tigers collapsed to their heaviest cup loss in 28 years of English knock-out rugby, and they could have no complaints.

Irish, inspired by a magnificent display from their forwards, scored five tries and fly-half Jarrod Cunningham booted 22 points with an immaculate display of goal-kicking.

Leicester had no answer throughout a one-sided contest, and there was also an injury scare for England coach Clive Woodward ahead of next Saturday's Sixth Nations Championship opener against Ireland when Austin Healey limped off early in the second half.

Despite playing their third game in seven days, Irish were far fitter and superior in every department, building up a 20-0 interval lead and then compounding Leicester's agony.

The much-haunted Leicester pack was ruthlessly dismantled as an Irish front row of Neal Hatley, Richard Kirke and Simon Halford enjoyed scrimmage supremacy while the home back row proved similarly decisive. Flankers Jake Boer and Andy Mower roamed tiresomely all afternoon, while number eight Gallacher capped a fine display with the opening try.

Leicester manager Dean Richards rang the substitutions in a desperate attempt to pull something from the fire, but Irish were having none of it as they thrilled a 6,000-strong with some quality rugby.

Irish were quickly into their stride, Cunningham kicking a fourth-minute penalty. The Leicester defence proved an heroic unit during more than five minutes of relentless pressure, then Back missed the tackle that allowed Gallacher a 20th-minute touchdown.

Two minutes later, Leicester pressed the self-destruct button. Attacking just inside the Irish half hooker Dorian West saw his past intercepted by wing Kieran Campbell, who sprinted 60 metres to score. Cunningham's conversion made it 17-0, and with Leicester all at sea he added a 35th-minute penalty for good measure.

Back went off just before the break, although he did not appear to be injured, and it was Healey's departure shortly afterwards that will give Woodward far greater cause for concern.

Healey, who was replaced by his fellow England squad member Will Greenwood, had ice applied to his leg after leaving the fray but Irish continued to produce some red-hot rugby.

Hatley powered over from close range after Boer had done the ground work, and although Leicester centre Craig Joiner then claimed a consolation score, it was nothing more than that.

Irish were relentless in the execution, and Leicester were powerless to prevent further tries during the final 13 minutes from Kirke and Campbell, his second.
