Alan Hewson didn’t cover himself in glory for those first two.

Yeah I don't think anybody would cover himself in any day if a winger is having a good day at the office.

@g-man and Moordt had many good days. One of the best ever imo. Scared me every time he ran onto a pass.

He was exceptional on that tour. Watched the games a few a times now and every time wondered how did he not score more?

The DMac haters on here would have a melt down with Naas sideways running.

@g-man One amusing memory from that day. During the game a guy in the eastern terraces started yelling and waving a 'Biko' protest flag among the crowd. The rugby supporters around him could have dragged him to the ground and kicked seven bells out of him but they did the opposite. They picked him up and passed him over their heads unharmed down to the Police at the front of the stand.

That was his speciality, also the reason why he never gotten properly tackled.

@bones some shockers in there...the Maa one on Henson was pretty soft and probably not even his worst!

At about 1.10 Duane Vermuelen gets double spear tackled WAY worse than BOD but do you think he’ll carry on about it for the rest of his life ?

No. Fuck BOD is a pillock.

Been watching a lot of old Hurricane games lately.

Still in awe of some of the stuff Cullen did back then.

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.

[Machpants]

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