1978
The All Blacks beat Bridgend 17-6 but won few friends after a performance which verged on violence . The Daily Express called it "a sickening outburst of violence". JPR Williams was forced off with blood pouring from his face after being blatantly stamped on in a ruck in the fourth minute. "My cheek was ripped open and I lost a couple of pints of blood," he said. "If I was lying on the ball that would have been fair enough but I was nowhere near it. I am sad the tourists let themselves down so near the end of the tour. It was a disgrace. This sort of thuggery must be brought to a halt now."

Amazingly Williams returned to the field 15 minutes later. All Blacks coach Jack Gleeson blamed the Bridgend front row who he said brought up their knees in the first scrum. "We've been bloody tolerant throughout the tour but we couldn't tolerate their behaviour any longer."

1996
Jason Leonard captained England to a narrow 20-18 win against Argentina at Twickenham and fittingly scored the only try of the match.

Mike Catt slotted five penalties from fly-half for England but was outdone by his opposite number Gonzalo Quesada, who bisected the posts on six occasions. Leonard's try was his only one for England in 119 caps and came at a vital moment in the game after the Pumas had stolen a late lead. The try levelled the scores and Catt's kick won the game.
