Was a Manawatu supporter in those days (lived in Pahiatua as a kid), but then the mighty Bush made First Division under Sir BJ! And '10' beer was launched in green and red...

I was at that game, me and about 50 other people.
Google tells me it was a Friday.JKs try was running towards us, but not sure I remember it or if I'm remembering one of the 100 times I've since seen it on tv/you tube.
The opening ceremony was a sight to be hold.
I can honestly say that it was the best RWC opening ceremony up to that point. -

I know I made sure I got home from work for it. JKs try was one of things I think was a bit of wake up call to everyone that WC was actually happening.
On JK I was at a lunch in Brisbane a few years back, and he was asked the who he thought the best player he had played with or against, he said without doubt it was JK. He only had one call on the field "Give me the ball", and then was a nightmare to try and tackle.

I’m picking David Campese or Paul Carozza. The latter was a very dirty player, blatantly nosing Richard Loe in the forearm. Should have been banned for life.
