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

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

    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.

    1996 AB series in SA on Sky now with Bill McLaren commentating

    Pitch in shocking condition looks like they’ve been grazing sheep on it until just before kick off.

    It’s actually the last game of the Tri Series with the 3 match test series to follow

    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.

    Sivivatu magic for Wesley. Their hooker has some wheels.

    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

    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)

    @junior is that Spence? Classic - I thought for his try he looked like the wiley-old 200+ club caps, typical openside.

    I played with Spence when I was in my prime, Counties Under 13 open weight. He was man size and as hairy at 14/15. He would have been a second year 7th former there. He ended up playing a few seasons for Wairarapa Bush.

    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.

    I watched this about a 1000 times as a 10 and 11 year old in 1990. Was great at the time.

    @erps But the picture quality is not great if watching on a TV. I could just dust off the VCR and find my VHS copy of this.

    I am hoping an official cleaned up version is in the works.
