I remember watching this test at a pub in Taupo, as I was working in the region at that time.

BTW, for anyone who has Sky TV they are showing all of the 1996 test series against SA today starting from 1 pm (SS1).

Both teams are full of ABs. There are even some on the bench. This is what the NPC could be like again.

RIP Sione and Jerry.

@bovidae lol your do dreaming, NPC is a loss making enterprise, if we go back to that, we have to pick ABs from overseas.

JK had a pretty good game too.

Classic moment about 13 mins into that video when Fox runs into a huge gap, and realises that he might have to go for it.

Was that when he did a little swerve and then passed to Ridge who streaked away and put JK in for the try?

[Tim]

@nepia Yeah.

@nepia Yeah.

Iti got three tries! That's a good find. I use to have the Rugby Annuals (as opposed to the Almanacks) and for most of the 90s probably could have told you the score to that game if you'd asked.

@nepia I remember going to the game with my neighbour. Auckland vs Australia in 1990 was good one too, IIRC.

Neither of those two came to play the Magpies.

Some brilliant tries in this game:

Some AB legends in this 1967 test - Meads, Lochore, McCormick, Laidlaw, Tremain etc,. Gotta love the stoic jogging back to halfway after scoring tries. No celebration allowed -

I was at this game. Halligan went from zero to hero. Back when rucking was allowed and some head-high tackles too.
