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

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.

Can go here...TJP and Reiko watch the 'ultimate' Baabaas try v ABs

I've just been watching the NZ-SA Pretoria test from 1996 on Sky. One of my favourite games to watch and I remember vividly that Sunday morning.
Anyway, I had forgotten how bad some of the kicking was in this game. Stransky and Joubert missing touch from penalties, Culhane and Cullen kicking out on the full and Marshall getting box kicks charged down. No mucking around with scrums though.
Two superb tries from Wilson and that DG from Zinny. Brooke's set move try from the scrum was a beauty too.
