Hands up if the words "Gordon Hamilton 1991" brings back instant visuals?
Remember watching that game with the family and we were all gutted after that final Wallaby try. Good test match that.

96 Boks tour one that is burned in the old memory is from the first test - Wilson’s chip and chase down the right side off a scrum from our own half.
It was the second Test in Pretoria.

Cheers.
Very fond memories watching that series with my extended family.

Many who were around at this time will have suppressed the memory of these, so drag them up from the depths at your peril. But, they'll be burned in there somewhere....

The immediate vision that popped into my head upon reading the thread title was Stu Wilson vs France in thright hand corner where he seemingly (to a child's eye) flew to the tryline. Stuck with me vividly always.
It's 56 seconds into this. I bet it never gets done again 🙂
By the way that baa baas try, the Edwards one from yonks ago, is like lying about an airswing in golf

Cliff MorganSome good tries in that game, not just the famous one. No wonder that match is so famous.

The try in the flour bomb test was great. 2:50 in that video. Good optics of the stationary passer getting absolutely clattered but just in time to put Hewson through.

Wow. Tony Johnson commentating way back in 96? I'd never heard of him until I returned from OE in early 2000s.
He started off in radio commentary as I remember his famous words at the end of Waikato's Ranfurly Shield win over Auckland in 1993.
