'He stopped Goliath, dead': Munster's win over the All Blacks is now an ad for a stout near you

The famous 1978 victory is one of four ‘mind over matter’ themed Guinness ads.

And this remarkable re-working of footage from the famous 1978 victory is likely to keep the folklore alive for another generation.

The above ’David and Goliath’ snippet is one of four ads from Guinness with the ‘mind over matter’ theme.

This one on Bill McClaren is probably the pick of the bunch.

Anything in French with subtitles is instantly artistic, of course. But we’re just not feeling this Jonny Wilkinson love-in. ‘The Perfect Man’ he may be, but a little bit of a dark side might suit a Guinness ad better.
