Twenty years later, another Stade player has done the same. /spanbr /br /In a bitterly cold Saturday in Paris, the Top 14 derby between Stade Francais and Racing Metro was edged 15-13 by hosts Metro at the Stade Yves Du Manoir.br /br /Francois Steyn kicked a long range penalty early on then Jonathan Wisniewski added four penalties to take Metro up to 15 points after ill discipline from the visitors proved costly.br /br /The only try of the game came from Stade Francais though as Ollie Phillips did brilliantly to chase a Julien Dupuy penalty kick that hit the crossbar and popped up perfectly into the waiting hands of the former England Sevens star.br /br /In a strange coincidence the last video we have of this happening in such a fashion was in that 1989 game mentioned above. Then, as on this occasion, it came through some solid graft that often goes unrewarded, but can be so important.br /br /Unfortunately for Phillips his try didn’t contribute to the win, but it was a great piece of play nevertheless. "Very disappointed by the result of our game. 15-13 it finished. I think I was the coldest I have ever been on a rugby field," he said afterwards.br /br /Watch this one, then you can view the 1989 Mytton try a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2008/01/cliff-mytton-shows-us-why-you-should.html"here/a.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lb_CWME8vbk?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lb_CWME8vbk?fs=1amp;hl=en_GBamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /div style="text-align: center;"span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" :: Related Posts ::/spanbr /span style="font-size:85%;"a href="http://rugbydump.blogspot.com/2008/01/cliff-mytton-shows-us-why-you-should.html"Cliff Mytton shows us why you should always chase a penalty kick/a/spanbr //divspan style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time:/span 02:01/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-3247430594165797816?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divpa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wPa2afUZIjG8LKe5vugp4gIMXmw/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wPa2afUZIjG8LKe5vugp4gIMXmw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wPa2afUZIjG8LKe5vugp4gIMXmw/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wPa2afUZIjG8LKe5vugp4gIMXmw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=KY8LEUZmjVg:k9VNXqP-EPw:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/KY8LEUZmjVg" height="1" width="1"/ More...
