Not Headingley, it was down the lane. I looked it up on youtube, and surprisingly it's not there. I know the game was televised because I seem to remember Jonathan Davies saying that he "should've been sent off for that." I also remember the atmosphere just after that incident was so heavy on the pitch you could have cut it with a knife. I was expecting war to break out.
We'd beaten Leeds at Leeds (last minute of the game, Andy Schick scoring a try off the last kick by a certain Mr. Vowles) and Bradford at home (I think Stevie McNamara missed an easy kick that day, I remember it being really windy and it may have been Viva Brad holding the ball for (Maloneys?) place kicks) so we were up for a decent cup run, only to be taken out by Sheffield. Senior got a ban and it ended so he could appear in the final (which they went on to win!)
Edit... weren't all of those games on the box? Has anyone got them on video? I'd quite like to see them again
