1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣7️⃣ - Northland vs Central Vikings at Whangarei. Northland playing some great code against on paper a handy Vikings side. A decent crowd for a Division 2 game. Central Vikings played in two...

@taniwharugby Why are you @ing me when mostly discussing Manawatu players.
But agreed - moe mai rai Jared and Norm.

@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.

Watching these videos, rugby was at its absolute pinnacle in the late 90s
Which is why it's so annoying that for all but 2.5 years of the 90s we were fucking shit.

I always like to share this video. Can't find the Waikato vs Counties Semi
1996 NPC SEMI- COUNTIES vs CANTERBURY at Pukekohe. Another cracker of a game played in front of a huge crowd, winger Joeli Vidiri dotting down 4 times and giving Counties the high scoring win of 46-33..

A couple of years earlier.
1995 fixture, a very handy Counties side beat Canterbury 41-39 scoring some great tries. RIP to two Counties legends playing in this game, Jonah Lomu & Peter Fats..

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

I read we were robbed
AUCKLAND vs COUNTIES - Ranfurly Shield, Eden Park in 1979. Counties score a stunning try to Hank Habraken. Played in front of 50,000 people, Auckland won the game 11-9..

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.
A small selection of great Jonah Lomu tries for his beloved Counties side. RIP the big man 1️⃣1️⃣.

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.

A fair few familiar faces (running/kicking style) in there
