@Canes4life TBF, there were quite a few players being shithouses to Coles as well in that video.

I love him but you can’t argue with Dane Coles’ sh#thousery in this vid.
I'd argue the greater shithousery is the refereeing by Soccer Mum Karens. They've ruined the sport.

I watched the 1987 RWC final last night, which I had recorded when Sky broadcast all the NZ-France RWC matches leading up to this year's opening match. Rugby was a different game back then. The forwards controlled the scrum engages and didn't waste 30 s doing it, rucking was allowed and there were plenty of mistakes from both teams. The match stats wouldn't make for happy reading.
Fox missed an easy penalty in the 1st half, and both sideline conversions, but we think of him as a goal kicker who never missed. The lineouts were a free-for-all where you were just as likely to win the oppositions throw-in as your own. I had forgotten there was a large temporary stand that was erected outside Eden Park. And to confirm this was a different era one of the French management was happily (nervously) smoking while watching the game.

A great AB performance with the Oz commentary.

Sheesh, there wasn't much rugby on tv back in the day. I can remember most of those tries and the Bay wasn't even playing but I must have watched that game/highlights a few times. Now I can barely remember test matches a few months ago.

Not sure if it's been posted.

I couldn’t relate to this post any more than I do. I remember Jonah, Cully, Tana etc as vividly as if they’d played yesterday.

Recently deceased Welsh great JPR Williams taking a brave up and under before being caught and spat out the back of a classic old school All Black ruck. 1972.
also that famous match winning lineout 'dive' scandal. 1978.
Plus the whole game.

24 minutes of the AB-Wales Test of '72 is on Youtube. Well worth a watch if you want to see why Sid Going is rated as the greatest 9 of his era by an awful lot of his peers.
