1972 Okara Park.
From memory it was quite an adventure to even get into the ground. Walking for miles, being thrown over fences, running across railway tracks, dodging the buses, huge queues. All this to find out it was standing room only on the bank, and therefore, as a 7 year old all you get to see is a sea of legs...
It was still quite an experience. Pity about the result.
This must be an early, leading contender for "The Lucky Mariner 2023 Award"
That is a very, very ugly sea. That rescue is an outstanding achiivement by the crew of HMNZS Te Kaha with support from the Northland Rescue helicopter.
NEWS
A man on a catamaran in distress has been rescued and is safe on board Royal New Zealand Navy frigate HMNZS Te Mana.
The man was rescued by personnel on a small boat (RHIB) launched from Te Mana, while crew on a Northland Rescue Helicopter provided overwatch for the safety of all involved.
Maritime Component Commander Commodore Garin Golding said sea conditions had been challenging and everyone involved was pleased the person was now safe on board the ship.

In my experience, most Forwards actually looked like that before they started playing the game...
@taniwharugby
David's father was a tall and a very handy lock/loose forward for Hora Hora and Mid Northern. Perhaps the height genes have skipped a generation?

Why is the game at Twickenham? (will also google)
edit:...google seem to suggest it was purely commercial which is disappointing
Taylor Swift
Played the stadium last night
Word is she brought around £10 million to the local economy for the one gig
I guess people had to get sick of Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey eventually
It's not unusual...
Why bother with extra time at all? A draw was as a fair reflection of the game at fulltime as it was after extra.

So true, so many times...
What backs thinking they have an overlap?
Well, they are the team members that actually can count...

Well done Argies.
ABs very poor.
Most random reffing performance I have seen for some time, well since that Wales v Boks test.
He's simply not up to standard but he wasn't the reason you lost.
Was a factor.
Take him out and we win.
Not convinced
Ref wasn't committing the penalties and throwing the ball in shit
Ref invented penalties, for one side and ignored the other side.
It created the scoreboard pressure. And subsequent panic.
Sure we did stupid shit too.
But change that factor and put a proper ref in charge and that result changes.
That's down to the captain, players and coaches not adapting to the ref
Everyone knew he's useless before kick off
NZ did not play the ref, Argentina did
End of
So you're saying the referee's inadequacies affected the result?
I agree entirely
The team's inadequacies affected the result much more

Northland v Canterbury NPC results
The last Northland win was back in 1999. Final score was 27-20
I remember two things about this game. The Northland pack put on a great performance particularly in the mauls. Glenn Taylor dominated Blackadder
Managed to find the try scorers and the team lists (missing one Cantab reserve)
