In this special episode of the Daily, Chris takes a trip to memory lane (and Newport) to relive THAT try, 50 years on. 27th January 1973 was the day, the Barbarians and New Zealand the teams, and Cardiff Arms Park the venue, as Sir Gareth Edwards scored one of the most famous tries in rugby history, in one of the sport\\u2019s most famous matches. With the help of Edwards and three other GOATS \\u2013 Willie John McBride, JPR Williams and Mike Gibson \\u2013 we discuss everything from Phil Bennett\\u2019s sidestep to John Dawes\\u2019 dummy to Edwards\\u2019 brilliant finish, and hear more about the context of the match as the feted British and Irish Lions of 1971 reunited to face the All Blacks in what was billed as the unofficial \\u201cFifth Test\\u201d.
