Silent archive footage of Munster vs Leinster in 1933. Interesting stuff.

3 tries and at least one conversion and we only got 13 points!!!!!! we were robbed I tell's ya.

actually that begs the question is there any one young enough here to not remember the 4 points for a try? (although they were only worth 3 points during this match)

edit* it seems that before 1891 a conversion was worth more then the try itself

Out of interest I remember clearly inter pro matches being covered regularly here in the North by BBC NI from 1970's. Were matches in the south covered as well?

John Hayes doing a good job of holding the scrum together as a 19year old in that video...

Looks like there were a few revolutionaries playing that day. I counted 3 passes, two of which went to hand!

I try used to be worth no points, and a conversion was worth all the points. Thats why it was called a "try" because it gave you a chance to "try" get some points.

Judgement Day

Great footage but how the hell anybody was able to play in those 'shorts'.

I fit into that category. A try has been 5 points all my life

That's a great video, very interesting footage to have now.
