## Caption

As George North announced he would retire at the end of this rugby season, we look back to when he became the youngest man to EVER score a try at Rugby World Cup!

The Wales and British and Irish Lions icon came off the bench against Namibia aged just 19 as he scored twice to set a new Rugby World Cup record during Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand
