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.

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.

@Bovidae Classic match. That All Black side was fearsome. And they played as though they'd made a pact after '95 to write their names into the history books as legends and not just the bad guys in a Matt Damon vehicle.
And every springbok fan knew they were coming to SA to rip the title of world champions from our hands. Which was why that series was infuriating as a Springbok supporter. Shit selections: Steve waste of space Atherton at lock instead of Wiese, John Allen and then Henri Tromp at hooker instead of Dalton, the revolving doors that were Justin Swart, Hendriks and Joubert defending one of the most potent back threes in the modern era. A game plan that was essentially leave it to Joost. You have to hand it to Markgraff - it takes genius to undermine a World Cup winning captain and to ignore the critical pieces of a World Cup winning team in favour of players that should have been no where near a springbok touring squad let alone facing one of the finest All Black teams ever hell bent on revenge.
That must have been a very unhappy springbok team.

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

Seriously old game from 1964 but regarded as one of the great games of that era.
The skill levels in the forwards were pretty impressive and the passing and off-loading wouldn't look out of place today. Dunno if Joe Moody or Ofa could drop a goal from 40 metres as Ian Clarke did in this game.

@ACT-Crusader never released.

It’s what you call a ball and all tackle steal
