Extraordinary that 1977 to New Zealand and 1980 to South Africa both times the Lions pack was better than the opposition...but the backs were outplayed!

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace)

It is telling that even now, a few years on it is so obvious that the british commentators are so delusional. Do these guys get training on how to exalt one team and call pretty average moves as "brilliant", "fantastic" etc trying to present their team as something they are not. This is why they are so unloved by rugby pundits world wide. Irritating at their best and terrible on average. Wake up and give the truth. If I was only listening and didnt see the game for myself I would have believed that this was a mismatch. Sickening. Please dont tell me they were actually remunerated for this s..t show by them.

Oh I love it when we win 🏆

Interesting Andy Irvine the only survivor of the 1974 lions on tour in 1980. Lions struggled with injuries on this tour losing Holmes and Davies and cotton. The Welsh golden age was over and south Africa had regrouped. It would have been a better series had Holmes and Davies not been injured.

Wounded lions. Terry Holmes Gareth Davies and Fran cotton all sent home injured. Decent SA side. Tests close. Rob was very good for sa. If fit the Gareth Davies nas Botha confrontation would have been interesting. They became good friends. Tony ward had a good game in his test. Catharsis for south Africa after 1974.

Lions still had a good scrum. Tests were close. Injury to gareth davies and terry holmes made a difference and naas botha of course.

Rob Louw was skills homself beste 6 ooit,, saam Tiaan Strauss ,, Boland Coetzee,,

Read Ja-Nee by Dugald Macdonald. Bok No8 in this test. Brilliant book and so, so funny

It’s the player without the balls foot you are looking at, 20 never had the ball…

Love the biased commentary, the off the ball antics by the Lions, and then complaining about the finicality…

Burger Red card all day long. Disgusting putting your fingers in someone’s eyes!!

@seamuswe but why did SA walked with the srumms no we beat them upp

Hoekom nie Gysie op binne senter gspeel en a ane heelagter gekies nie dan ht ons hulle flenters gehardloop ,,

Amper soos 1974 ons wen reeks maar hulle was beter as ons in 4de toets ,, David Smith nie a goeie senter daar was a better mate for Willie du Plessis

Naas ht swak geskop die drie van willie du plessis neee dammit

Thanks Ronan lol

Bokke to strong

Who will ever forget this magnificent long range penalty kick from Morne Steyn! Masterful indeed. And Loftus was rockin! One of the most memorable rugby matches in history. Well done Morne. As a Bulls fan I salute you! 🇿🇦🏉

Is it an English commentary? They suck 😅😅

Tackle,s tackle,s why whas Joggie Jansen,, and Peter Cronje not picked ,,, whipp and Oosthuizen whas not in the game

They throw the ball all over ran all over no bokke we couldn't allow itt but itt happen but test 4 u were up 13_13 ❤❤❤❤❤❤I'll support u guys u are the greatest in world rugby,,,

The springboks whas out out not on the field ,,,

What a time it was - a SEA of red supporters!!!! Wonder what the Irish team would conjur up - a sea of GREEN????

I’m sure it’s already been said, O’Gara moment of madness.

It's only taken me about 15 years to forgive ROG for that up and under disaster. All they had to do was keep the ball for 30 seconds for the draw. I do admire his will to try and win the match but that really wasn't the right play

the bad old days of white only players ,,thank goodness that evil system is no longer in place.

The more things change, the Morne Steyn the same.

I was here with my dad. First time to Loftus and Pretoria, travelling from Durban. I never knew it was a defining moment at the time. I remember the sea of red and party atmosphere by Lions when they were far behind. The 2nd half comeback seemed to be inevitable I don't even remember the match winning penalty. I wasn't drunk but I was 19. I had just had come from watching some pre 2010 soccer world cup top 8 tournament with South Africa as hosting.. Brazil, I don't remember the other at JB stadium. I was really spoilt! That year also at Rhodes.. Sorry just brought myself some memories now at 34. :/

Rob Louw was one of the best loosies who played for the Boks.Bill Beaumont stated that they would have taken the series if Rob was not involved.

Won’t see many better finishes than that one by Fourie.

Moses if you lived through apartheid you would not make that comment law and order for thee but not for whites

Great to see more detail and action of this game than usual. The horrific hit on the sublime Phil Bennett looked so cynical and brutal. The Boks were were and truly humiliated in every way.

'Its a brilliant finish by Fourie'; and he's [Steyn] come off the bench and kicked beautifully'. - Stuart Barnes

2:05 one thing that I am glad has been taken out of the modern game - literally stamping on a defenceless opponents head.

10:06 Lions finally realise what to do. Run straight at Naas...

Nice to see all the white policemen when there was law and order.

How did the Bokke allow the lions to run freely like that They were scared.

The Bokke were useless didn't tackle.

Its crazy seeing more fans from the opposition team than the local team for a Bok match in South Africa!

Eh what a disaster - I remember shouting at the TV watching this game. Well done to the Lions - came ready for a fight.

Paul Dodge got a lions cap ....Jesus ! .😮

South African backs had real cutting edge Gerrie Hermisheis Ray mort and Caesie pinaar were a real handfull

In contention for the greatest team of all time ..lions 74 .

Young René Naylor at 15:59

B&I Lions forwards were dominant throughout this series, but SA backline played much better than the Lions

B&I lions forwards dominance throughout the series in the scrum/linout, was apparent. Watch how SA are mangled in every Scrum. Lions backs were poor by comparison

As a welshman, i never understood why people were saying fourie was out of play. Clearly a world class finish ! i remember being nine years old and being so devastated when that last penalty went over. Looking back though this was one of the all time great matches with this SA 2007-2009 team being the best team of all time alongside all blacks 2015. what a sport !

18.15 how the springboks got their name

Boers win the War. Again. Paul Kruger skop die Koning weer..
