Guinness Six Nations published this video item, entitled “2004 | Imanol Harinordoquy puts France in front” – below is their description.
France against England in Paris is a fixture to get the pulse racing no matter what the circumstances and the 2004 clash had plenty riding on it.
England, reigning world champions and winners of a Grand Slam the previous year, needed to win by eight points to seal a second Championship on the bounce. Hosts France, meanwhile, were looking for a victory to secure their second Grand Slam in the space of three years.
In Imanol Harinordoquy, the home side had a back-rower with a try-scoring instinct that was particularly prominent in the 2004 Championship.
And he made his mark in this game with a crucial first-half try as he latched on to a Dimitri Yachvili crosskick and touched down for his fourth try of the Championship.Wg
