Fond memories of this, this was my first game watching Ponty as I moved there for uni.

The days when Welsh clubs could compete and win in europe and ponty were as hard and uncompromising as it got taking big scalps

rupert moon,born in england,played in LLanelli, lived in ponty

Criminal what was done to ponty by wru … wru doing their very best to make domestic welsh rugby as primitive and as unsupported as possible alienating what used to be heavily supported rugby community’s like Pontypridd once was…

its been a long old time both these proud clubs have had such a bevie of welsh internationals.

I’m here coz I googled the Aussie rapper 😂

A disgrace of a game which should have been called off by the referee when it was obvious both teams came to fight and not play rugby.

Reflecting back, some of the morons, idiots, and general scumbags we had in the game hiding behind this "hardman" mantra was killing our game.

that ponty snarling hooker was raging all game.Fantastic.

Absolute mayhem,love it 😂😂😂😂😂

Disgraceful refereeing. Crapped his pants.

You must be mad to fight Dale McIntosh.

The Rubber Man

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thanks for posting, thought I'd lost this

Robbed that day, better side and we won the fight as well, ref bottled it.

Much higher standard of rugby by both sides than the current game, even up to international level. Some breathtaking rugby, especially in these conditions.

Typical Ponty supporter, not showing any of Cross Keys dominance.

Bridgend won the game 17 v 0. I know because I went to the game. It was the night before the general election of 1997.

This is the game I was mascot AHHHH those days

Another classic example of refereeing cowardice

jog on mush

Typical Pooler! Last team to run out on their opponents home turf.

Disgraceful? . Harden the F@#k up commentators

Ponty definately deserved most of the penalties

Watched this happen on the telly 😂😂. People in my area still talk about this game to this dayb😂

Very lame and unprofessional reffing,from the days when refs were indeed unprofessional.

#Feel the Steel

Those were the days when a Leicester fan assured me that Ponty were on a hiding to nothing! ps Is that the dulcet tones of the Scarlet JJ Williams that I hear?

Fantastic games between two great sides but what a shithouse the Brive 9 was . No try red card and penalty to Ponty, and I’m an English fan!!!

what programme was this

Fuck Ponty

We played some breathtaking rugby . With a lot of power and pace and a lot of skill.What times.

welsh pussies

....and the winner was BRIVE !!!!

Have you edited out the sale points? Can you add them back so I can watch this game again?

Gerwen price

Brilliant Pontypridd

Typical dickhead comment from Ian Greenslade there

Wild game

One of those 'I was there' moments. Epic! Quite emotional watching that with the incredible support. Definitely a 16th man.

What a minge of a commentator JJ was. Jiffy far more realistic.

My dad played for ponty but he’s not in this sadly

Size of the crowd back then compared to today .. ponty had a huge following and Scarletts don't even get close to those crowd numbers today when they have a home game... wru ruined domestic rugby for so many towns and villages .. back in the day ponty town would be buzzing with the amount of fans going to the game .. not any more ..

I can only assume you must have just accidentally forgot about Martin Williams? Because there's been no better 7 than the nugget to ever grace the jersey...

I was there as well. Remember the silence when the French ran out?

I remember the t-shirts proclaiming, "You know when you've been Chiefed!" How about it Andy Robinson?

When Ponty was good then

Real rugby

Amazing to see how far Welsh rugby has come since these dark days. The bridgend squad now probably living on a some scummy council estate with a family of 6 living on benefits where they belong. Meanwhile Cardiff onward and upwards.
