@taniwharugby not too many people gas Christian Cullen on the outside..Joe Mafileo has story to tell his grandchildren, from what I have heard chatting to some individuals that played in that game..Cullen had not come across the very little known Mafileo, but having seen him run around in North Harbour club in the mid nineties..I knew he could shift..,Cullen in most cases would show the player the outside knowing he had the pace to rope him in..problem was Mafileo possessed stunning pace over the first 30 metres.

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.

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.

@Bovidae you able to post the teamsheets?

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?https://www.collegesportmedia.co.nz/nzs-2001.html
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) -

Sivivatu magic for Wesley. Their hooker has some wheels.
Love that the WC open side is already thinning on top
