Classic Rugby Videos

[nzzp]

Watching the documentary from earlier on the year on Sky about the 1996 AB series win in SA.

Cullen was in his first year in the team and was just insanely good. Pre-knee injury, he was a monster.

I must try and find those rugby matches in full on YouTube -- there were just all black and springbok greats. Mark Andrews for the Bokke was off the charts good - as good a lock as you'd ever see. Combined with Joost vdw and their monster pack (Os Du Randt), it was a hell of an achievement.

Also amazing to see Zinny kicking a 35 m droppie at a critical time in the series decider ... that guy was just incredible. Skill levels up the wazoo

Dave Bishop was an absolutely terrible referee.

Loved what passed for a big call at the time:

Well, Lee Stensness has played ... good rugby, in my mind.

Clicked on it and got bored after about 8 seconds of Nisbo talking...

Another request for the 1987 Bledisloe Cup game. A forgotten classic.

@Wairau TBH, aside from the ABs and Japan I'd rather the Boks win.

[Wairau]

@Nepia Ha, yes, I think you are right.
I sent the following to a SA friend, some fantastic rugby.

Top 10 Springbok victories over the All Blacks

The Springboks and All Blacks share one of the fiercest rivalries in world rugby. They first locked horns in 1921 and have been at it ever since with the winner often viewed as the best team in the world.

@Daffy-Jaffy I like how Howlett was worried that Ralph wouldn't be quick enough to get the ball so ran him and the English defenders down to score the try.
