@Duluth said in Classic Rugby Vids:
Was this before or after the 1995 ABs trial? My memory was that was the turning point for Lomu
I would guess before. The N v S match was really early in the season I think. April / May?
Was that the year we smacked them in Dunedin - the Berryman hat trick match? Lomu mentioned it when Berryman died a few years ago. I might have all of that confused though.

I had a search, it looks like there was a lot of 'trial' matches close together. I think the one Lomu was referencing was NZ Harlequins v Waikato and Berryman scored multiple tries
The match I was thinking of was the Possibles v Probables match at Okara park. I was in the crowd.. if I remember correctly Berryman was a late scratching and Lomu came into the side and forced his way into the RWC squad
I can't find any footage unfortunately

Found this for the Nth versing Sth:
1995 8 April Dunedin North 63-22
@Duluth you are correct the Berryman hat trick match was Harlequins v Waikato (after a bucket of KFC with Jonah).

I wasn't sure where to put this video. Rieko can ground the ball correctly if he wants to.

Not often, but... I counted 11 tries where he wasn't doing the "one hand on ball touch-down diving over the top of it and letting go as he does it" - and all of those were because he was forced into grounding "properly".
It's obviously a move he has decided looks cool... and was eventually going to bite him in the arse. Luckily... it's only happened 1/15 times, so... I dunno. Let him continue thinking it looks cool? Or not? -

It makes him look like a dickhead when a try is disallowed. That is seriously uncool.

Going, Going, gone!

Brilliant match analyst.
My idea of commentary heaven would be Andrew Cotter, Bayfield & Smithy on the touchline.

Never gets old. Yes the tackle and turnover was class but the line McCaw ran to get to Gerrard was brilliant.

A little late to the party here, but nice to see Mauger pat Mortlock on the back as he waltzes his way through our defensive line - very charitable.

@daffy-jaffy Love the call from the ref after a bust up: "It was always going to happen, but I'm not going to let it happen twice."
