- Rewind to 2004 for a Guinness Six Nations classic between Ireland and England. England, fresh from their 2003 World Cup victory, faced down an Ireland side featuring the likes of Ronan O'Gara, Brian O'Driscoll and, that year's player of the tournament, Gordon D'Arcy.

Love the comments from the ref: "stupid penalty to give away no 1"
England props in a nutshell 🤷♂️
He was a good ref Paul Honiss
Sideline to sideline in 4 passes. Incredible stuff.
That’s a classic Irish try if ever there was one. Etched in my brain.
Watched this game in Connolly’s pub in Sligo. Handful of people in it. Couple of pints of Guinness and D’Arcy tearing England apart. Beautiful.
Watching games from the 90s and 2000s always bring tears to my eyes. Everything felt like more magical in some way.
Because we all had more hair on our heads and less everywhere else.
More energy, more women, more fun and more ambition 😂😂😂
I feel like I am watching a different sport then todays game.
I remember watching this at 4am in scruffy Murphy’s in Sydney, brings back some great memories
And not a box kick to be seen.....glorious
Yeah but you forget you could pass it back into your 22 from anywhere and kick it straight out. Ball was always being kicked especially at like half way
@@paulmcdonald2347 almost a different game back then.. some of those plays you just wouldn't get away with anymore
The good old days.
@@johnmc3862 not really we just had more hair on our heads, less everywhere else, more women liked us and we had more energy.
Well actually it was the good old days alright wasn't it 😂🤣
@@RazorMouth I still have the hair but that's about it. 😆
Eng arrived out to Thin Lizzy’s The Boys are Back in Town !! you got to laugh 😂
First time England where beaten at home in over 4 years! O'Gara was outstanding that day
Ireland always seem to be the ones who end records.
They ended All Blacks unbeaten run of 18 consecutive wins.
Then they ended England's unbeaten run of 18 consecutive wins.
They also stopped England from winning b2b Grandslams.
God I hate playing Ireland in crucial games. 🤣🤣🤣
@@iidentifyasafriedeggjellyf8007 Haha great stats 🙏😀
First time I've watched this game back since that day. For some reason I thought we (Eng) got smashed but it was actually a really good game. Quality Ireland team, prob should have won more than a single grand slam in that period. Forgot about BOD's Wham hairdo!
I am Irish
@@stephen279 ...expensive isn't it?!
We came close to the slam a few times - easy to forget that the French were very good in that period too.
@@Stemilion9 :-D You're right there
Maybe it's me but the Irish ☘️ Scrum half (Skinner?) was a fantastic passer&very dynamic!
Greenwood with a filthy tackle on Dempsey
Ben Cohen.
@@johnbuggy9121 Should have been yellow card & pen from the restart
Stringer and O'Gara were just magic to watch. Back when Ireland could play wide and creatively.
The good old days.
@@Fred-jh2xg indeed. Though those were relatively barren years. Had to wait till 2009 for a grand slam. Back when Munster and Leinster were at least in the semi finals of the H cup as well, if not winning it. People say O'Gara couldn't tackle, or Stringer, but they directed play so well that most of the time they didn't have to
@@JorgenHartogs Your memories go back far.. Did people honestly forget the car-wreck of the 90s that shipped 11 losses on the bounce, copped 4 losses in a row to Italy, got pummeled by Samoa, another 2 before that against Namibia and even shipped 35pts at home to Romania. The 00s will forever be remembered as the decade that set the bar for glory in 3 triple crowns before a 4th with the 09' grand slam. Along with batches of wins against wc finalists Australia & wc winners South Africa (In all honesty, only 12 months within those 10-years went awry in the 2007/08 season. Very little else).
I miss those great players as well, but let's not be too nostalgic. Only a few years ago Ireland were the best team in the world, playing great rugby in offence as well as defence. It's just a shame they peaked about a year before the World Cup. They're not too bad now either, a bit unlucky, but mostly just trying to find their footing again.
If the evidence of this video is anything to go on, they were not magic at all. Stringer was completely at fault for England's first try, should have been covering the space for the chip before the disallowed try, and even in the last play nearly made a balls of everything. And for Ireland's try, O'Gara wasn't actually in the backline when they spread it wide, and he missed a virtually unmissable kick near the beginning. So, bad defence and attack is what this video suggests.
You missed another disallowed try for Ehgland i think. And also that huge break from D'Arcy in the lead up to Ireland's try
Skipping D’Arcy’s line break is weird, best moment of the match, ruins the video
Agree. The Ireland try needed its full build-up because it was well crafted from deep
Really enjoyed the clash of kit here. The new skin tight design from the England one and the old school cotton and collar one from Ireland
2004-07 we could never beat the Irish. they were too good those years. really thought they had a chance at the 2007 World cup.
bought into our ow hype and then Argentina showed up with other plans. The hype train is back and it's full steam ahead again into this year's.
@@dashingeduardosuarez can’t compare that team to the current one though so think if we’ve ever had a chance it’d be this year even tho it’s the worst draw we’ve ever had
Started a run of 7 wins in 8 for Ireland.
O Gara was a savage kicker under pressure.
Great game from two great teams.
Ronan O'Gara so young
Great match. Lovely to see the attacking flair of England's backs.
A really great game. This is when the World Cup hangover was plain for all to see.
Great Ireland performance. They could have crumbled when England scored the first try of the game but I think they smelt blood.
On a side note, Paul Grayson was really good at 10 for England that day. Seemed to be the hub of anything exciting England could muster.
In that game I was expecting England to murder us but then there was a scrum where we pushed them back and I remember thinking something like "Hold on..."
The Decline and Fall of Saint Clive the Hubristic, Part One.
Part Two: the 2004 Tour of New Zealand (NZ 2-0 ENG)
Part Three: the 2005 British and Irish Lions "Tour of Hell" (NZ 3-0 B&IL)
And after all had passed, a solemn darkness did descend across the landscape of English rugby, a contemplative silence broken only by plaintive cries of "we won a World Cup!", and "remember 2003?". And that darkness did last nigh on 20 years (and counting), whilst elsewhere in the rugby world there was brightness, new growth, and much rejoicing...
Big Alan Best at 2:07, looking slim as ever!
Scenes on toast 🇮🇪
It's a bit strange watching a 6N game with a crowd!
it ain't been a lifetime yet..
More strange without a crowd
@@moc7323 Yes, it's good to see us back! That post was a year ago or more, UA-cam algorithms are very unpredictable!
Good viewing
I remember Brian Moore’s co commentary. Great pundit.
Awesome game
The highlights miss the full brilliance of Dempsey's try - there was a brilliant line break by D'Arcy shortly before, which really opened up the space... shame you don't get to see it here...
Great win 😊
not an England fanboy, but that's a try by Cohen. Those were the years Ireland were beating England consistently, both home or away. England really had trouble backing up that reigning world champ tag, but they did somehow make it to the next final again.
They've changed the law since. But back then that sort of double movement was not allowed. Looks weird to see it questioned now.
Double movement no try
that was are first win twickenham since 1994 at the time in 2004
The crowd noises are from pro evo
Happy St Patrick’s Day. Loved this game...payback for the insulting red carpet antics of the year before by pissing on England’s World Cup celebration party!😊☘️😊☘️😊☘️😊☘️😊☘️
Fantastic to see this without the Commentators .. brilliant
at 5:54 would the try to awarded today? I didn't see double movement... educate me
Same. You're allowed to place the ball after the tackle, which is what he did. Don't know if the laws were different then
Because his body came up from the ground and shifted towards the line, it would be deemed playing the ball on the ground. If he’s just reached out, it was a score.
It happened so quick, it would quite possibly/probably be given today. Different laws go through phases of strict implementation or get almost ignored. Like feeding the scrum straight was a thing for a while recently but seems almost forgotten about again. Whereas years ago, it was a strict law.
Elbow and right leg moved forward which is "crawl" I believe.
It would be fine tpday
It would be given today but that dirty bastard cueto diving into Dempsey's legs football style would be a sinbin aswell, goes both ways
Boys oh Boys 😉
Remember when scrum halves only had to feed a scrum and they didn't have to worry if they could box kick.....it feels different.
Come on ireland
Undefeated til that game!
👍🏽 1
🏉
Is that Nigel owens in the sideline?
In 2004? This was nearly twenty years ago lol.
Who’s the flyhalf for England in this game? Surely cohens try should have counted
would not say a thriller nearly dozed off in the highlights
Where is darcy’s break !
I only came to the here to see it
He's so underrated
Who edits these? Terrible clip. Doesn't show the mesmeric line break by Darcy that lead to the irish try. Literally the best moment of the game. Instead it cups to slightly after that point?? Why would you cut that bit of magic out. So stupid.
I’d say Ben Cohens try would be allowed now , the rules change so much now
That was a terrible first effort by O'Gara
He made up for it
Rog kicked everything afterwards even one from 45yards plus which he wasn't known for
My mums side were Irish. Anyone but England haha!
Since when were England World Champions ?? Just after WWII if I recall.
6:07
Ads after 1:50... not cool GNS
Ronan O’Gara 0.38 ok wow
Yeah wow he missed a kick?? He nailed everything else though!
Sexton missed aload against England last year right infront of the post aswell so
That's not the same team that won the World Cup, misleading tittle
The title says world champions which was correct.
England losing because of poor discipline. Not much has changed!
Sure they CONSTANTLY break the rules. Every game. Non stop. It's ridiculous how they haven't even been handed more yellow cards. The clear amount of offsides is unbelievable.
The best try that never was - Cohens - what a build up
Why teams don't chip over forwards is ridiculous, no variety in the modern game.
Forwards are hybrids now, very versatile.
World champions?
2003 world cup winners
Im very early
Ben Cohen's was a try. And i'm irish!
Wales should have beaten England in 2004, they just went to pieces in the last few minutes.
Many schoolboy teams would field more imposing players. They are leviathans today
Not really the world champs though let's be honest....your only champion for a day and all our champions had retired or injured
Well they were holding the title of world champions back then.
Misleading title. Thriller ? I guess one man’s thriller is another man’s borefest.
dirty england play
Please note: England is not the world champions
The rules on double movement ware different back then .. no try
What is the point of these uploads? In Ireland the days are long gone of beating the No.1 team in the world or a team that has just won the world cup being considered a success. We have a dismal world cup record and I can't see anything yet in the current squad that would give me hope that we will get passed the quarter final stage of the next world cup.
That's true and one of the biggest reasons in my opinion for Irish failure at world cups, low expectations. Even when we were ranked #1 in the world we were still "happy" to be beating teams ranked below us rather than expecting it as standard. Until Irish rugby starts setting the target of winning against all teams as the standard, expected result, we won't be getting anywhere near a world cup.
What's your opinion now?
haha thats definitely a try. can't call that double movement
Definitely double movement 😂😂
They changed the rules since ... that was a double movement back then (but agree, not today)... i think Eng really got on the wrong side of Honniss that day, esp in the lineout (Thommo had a shocker, Big Mal had an incredible game) and rolling mauls.
