1995
Rob Andrew's last-minute dropped goal knocked the holders, Australia, out of the World Cup as Will Carling led England to a 25-22 victory in the quarter-final at Newlands in Cape Town. Tony Underwood scored a great solo effort in the first- half but that was cancelled out by a try from Damian Smith. In injury-time Martin Bayfield won a crucial lineout and pushed the rolling maul forward with the rest of the pack. Scrum-half Dewi Morris then swept the ball to Andrew who drop-kicked from 45 metres to send the travelling English fans ballistic.
1930
Wales's Tommy Jones-Davies scored a try hat-trick playing fullback for the Lions in their 34-11 win against West Coast/Buller at Greymouth. On the same day New Zealand's selectors were left with a few headaches after the Probables side went down 17-11 to the Possibles in a Test Trial.

Tries by Austin Healey and John Bentley brought the Lions a 20-14 win in Johannesburg against the Gauteng Lions (formerly Transvaal).

"I'm a vocal guy so it was time for me to put up or shut up. I'm glad to have helped put the tour back on the road."
