1996 NPC SEMI- COUNTIES vs CANTERBURY at Pukekohe. Another cracker of a game played in front of a huge crowd, winger Joeli Vidiri dotting down 4 times and giving Counties the high scoring win of 46-33..

1995 fixture, a very handy Counties side beat Canterbury 41-39 scoring some great tries. RIP to two Counties legends playing in this game, Jonah Lomu & Peter Fats..

JONAH LOMU scores a brilliant individual try for Counties against Wellington at Athletic Park in 1995..

I read we were robbed
AUCKLAND vs COUNTIES - Ranfurly Shield, Eden Park in 1979. Counties score a stunning try to Hank Habraken. Played in front of 50,000 people, Auckland won the game 11-9..

Not to denigrate the great man, but boy was there some shoddy tackling technique in there! The prop and the winger in particular

Some rare provincial footage of Jonah.
A small selection of great Jonah Lomu tries for his beloved Counties side. RIP the big man 1️⃣1️⃣.

I watched that this morning.
Some hideous jerseys on display.
I love the way some of the tackle attempts were half hearted as players were in two minds whether to have a go or get steamrolled.

Some of those SA provincial games on the 1992 tour would be good to see again.
Is the 1992 tour documentary that screened on TV and had the old timers (Bob Scott, Kevin Skinner etc) watching available on Youtube? IIRC it also had Herscel Gibbs who got to tour round with the ABs as he was a big schoolboy star at the time.
I remember the punch up in one of the provincial games, Ian Jones was showing his Northland mongrelness despite looking like a choirboy.

A fair few familiar faces (running/kicking style) in there

I haven't been able to find it. From the commentary, RBHS had Messam, Ripia and Aporo in their side, and Ruki Tipuna was the halfback and made the NZSS team. Sailosi Tagicakibau scored the first try for Wesley.
Wesley didn't have any NZSS reps in 2001.
Joe Schmidt, what were you thinking?NZS 2001
SQUAD Backs Glen Horton (Napier BHS) Joe Rokocoko (St Kentigern College) Luke McAlister (Westlake BHS) Tony Koonwaiyou (King's College) James Gopperth (New Plymouth BHS) Riki Tipuna...
Rotorua did score plenty of points themselves, just not enough.
Wesley College: 53 (Sailosi Tagicakibau 2, Tekori Luteru 2, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Viliami Veikoso, Michael Spence, Stephen Donald tries; Donald: 5 con, 1 pen)
Rotorua Boys’ High School: 32 (Ruki Tipuna, Sam Cameron, Raureti Grace, Penalty Try; Tipuna: 3 con, 2 pen) -

I watched "Blood, Sweat and Touring" on allblacks.com's YT channel last night. Fun times back in 1990 with local French refs. I hope they also release a good quality version of "The Good, the Bad, and the Rugby" as that is even better. A VHS transfer doesn't look good on a big screen.
There was a trailer earlier this month but nothing since then.
