As per ⁦ @RuckedOver ⁩ ‘s request on ⁦ @rollingmaulpod ⁩ this week, here’s Steve Hackney’s try against Bristol from 1995. In my opinion, the best try in the history of the club.

Referees and World Rugby need to get serious on clear outs like this. We’ve seen several injuries that have put players out the game for upwards of a year as a result of similar cowardly acts. Should have been a red and a lengthy ban. Hopefully @RuanAckermann recovers quickly.
