    -First Force game
    -First PSA try (against Christchurch, chip and chase)
    -Hale year 9 vs Guildford, at Guildford we pulled out a 34-3 victory... to turn around from a first run defeat to them 22-12
    -SA vs Aus game in Perth (habana tries)
    -1998 Tri-Nations game SA vs AB's at Ellis Park (we won the cup that year)
    - another nice one getting knocked out against Aquinas, ended up playing the whole game and injured the player who tackled me with a nice hard tackle

    I still clearly recall where i was when georgie gregan made that tackle to introduce himself to the Wallabies, and that push over try in Cardiff against wales.Winning two world cups feels pretty bloody good too, especially after we nearly lost to ireland, which was another highlight as well.My first game of rugby union is also clearly defined as i had only played league up until then, and had no idea of the rules, especially releasing the ball, so i got totally rucked till i was bleeding, but i was making heaps of metres so no one seemed to mind too much, and when it was all over we had won three to nil and i was asked to bench for first grade....Luckily i didn`t need to play as i was truly sore, and then we had our presentation night and i won the players player award for best on ground, which meant i had a bottomless mug,and don`t remember too much after that, except waking up in a shower after about an hour and stumbling into an empty bed in the army barracks at kapooka, with the best hangover ever...

    Fair suck of the sausage, Frontrow.The older you get the better you was.

    If you were half as good as that when we played together you'd have been a wallaby! Admittedly, you were good (although I've heard people say I was better- well my mum anyway) but hell's bells!

    You and I will have to get together and start a fertilizer business.We'd close down Wesfarmers.

    By the way, old mate, seeing as how you're working away and will probably miss some of the Force games,can I borrow your birthday membership ticket when you can't use it? Old mate, old mate ...?

    Having travelled and played extensively over 27 years in the front rowers club my fondest memory still remains of a game in Suva in 1986. I played for HMAS Vampire (now gracing the wharf at the Maritime Museum) against the Fijian Navy. How hard could it be, only 300 people in their navy and we had a fair team. Someone forgot to tell us in those days of amateur rugby that the islanders hid their players in the defence force for paid training so we ended up playing Fiji B. Ran out to a surprisingly large crowd which grew to capacity (10,000??) by half time. We did well but were getting hammered to the chuckling amusement of the hill. 42-3 was an honorable flogging that we bore with pride as we trundled off. But we couldn't access the rooms as they were occupied. Why the wait, and why the big crowd still hanging around? Then to our amazement Wales and Fiji ran out to play a test! Stayed and watched then enjoyed post game drinks with the boyos that continued long into the night at the Suva Travelodge.

    first yr of rugby wen i was in under 11's we played the under 12's in a scratch match during the holidays.... we were yet to win our first game of the season and it didnt look lyk changing... but we led 17-15 at half time.. and then the flood gates opened they scored 1st try and looked lyk they were goin to score another and seal the game... overlaps outwide... onli me and our small winger onto a no.8, flanker and 2 centres.. didnt lyk our chances.. but as it would b the centre hesitated and our winger talked him.. then the center flicked the ball hoping for the no.8 to get the ball and score under the post.. this was my chance.... i took the put interspet... ran length of fiel scored the winning try first ever rugby win... one to remember

    mine was playing rugby 2004 on PS2 - had been unbeaten in over 100 games. Won all but just one draw.

    tanked off my nut i was playing a friend. England vs Kiwi's

    he leds by 14 with under 10mins on game time which was like 1min real life.

    in that time scored two converted tries including a huge run after time was up to level the game!! HUGE COMEBACK - greatest moment!

    until this day i am still undeafeated.
