What is has been your favorite Welsh match in the Six / Five nations Championship ever
 
 
My Top 5
 
(1) Wales v Ireland 2005 ( One of the best days of my life, after watching Wales since 1984 live and seeing the team suffer many heavy defeats i never thought i would actually see a Grand Slam winning game.
 
(2) Wales V Scotland - I was 14 at the time and very excited that Dad had bought me the Welsh shirt pre match in the shop next to the Model Inn not there now but it had loads of various rugby shirts. The game itself was exciting and i was particulary pleased as Phil May was playing. He waited a  long time to get capped. Jiffy and Ieuan scored great tries and it was a great day.
 
(3) Wales V France - It was my first 5 Nations match so was so excited going. Mark Douglas played 9,and i think Phil Lewis was on the wing,
 
(4) Wales V England 1993 - "Rory went a sleeping when Ieuan came up creeping" everyone goes on about the 99 game but to me this was better. Tarw chipped and Ieuan scored. A great day for Wales, Llanelli and Carmarthen. It was so bad for England that they dropped Rob andrew for the next match.
 
(5) Wales v France 1994 Great game with Scott Quinnell scoring an epic try. We didnt beat France much in thoose days so it was extra special. I was old enough to go out in Cardiff after and celebrate.!!!

For me, it would have to be as follows (In No particular order)
 
1 - Wales vs Eng 1999, Scott Gibbs try had to ring in work next day to explain i was still pissed!!!
 
2 - Wales vs France 1994, Scott Quinell has a barnstormer, again, got v pissed!!
 
3 - Wales vs Scotland 1994, Mike Rayer singing in the rain, again got v pissed, and this marked a massive uptun in fortunes at the time
 
4 - Wales vs England 1993, what a roar from the east terrace when Ieuan scored!! Still deaf as a result of being there!!!
 
5 - Wales vs France 2008, job done, very professional!!
Go ahead..........Take those banana's

My Top 5 are all games that I attended.

 
(1) Wales v Ireland 2005. I was at the game. About 10 feet from where Kevin Morgan scored that last try. I don't think it can be topped (international games I mean)

(2) Wales v England 1999. Just totally expected, and a great fnish. Welshmen were given the freedom of Edinburgh that evening.

(3) Ireland v Wales 2000. we won 19-23.

(4) France v Wales 1999. We won 33-34. Even Craig Quinnell scored.

(5) England v Wales 2008. First Twickers game we won since 1988. A great day out, and what a comeback. My only gripe is that Stevo didn't get on the pitch.
