How very quaint.....New Zealanders complaining about rucking being too hard for them. They do NOT like to receive it back, only dish it out.

At the end of his career, he came over to England to play for Harlequins. He was OK, but not great. He tried coaching, but that didn't go very well.

Back then in South Africa the locks were numbers 5 and 6 the loosies were 4, 7 and 8 that try in against the lions in 71 that try was and still is my most favorite try and memory.
@MarsFKA5 ай бұрын
Kirkpatrick said that try against the Lions was probably his best-known, but he always considered that his most important try was against the Springboks in the Second Test in 1970.

@marcwilson368 Not at all, the refs always were against the french and it was always the brits who hide behind the referee especially the english. France got ban from the five Nations Championship in 1931 cause they were too violent for the english taste. Do you think the french team ask for their own ban cause they could not handle the other team's violence ? During the 70' era, the whole pack brutaly demolish every one who dare to oppose them. When Bobby Windsor launched a massive kick in the face of Alain Esteve, the former stood up, smiled back and gave him a wink, lmfao. The pack of 77 were headstomping every one on sight. In the early 80' in the XIII rugby, a famous french team was so violent that the TV stop broadcasting the matches in France. Hell a guy was even killed in 87 in the national championship. Google Bègles Toulon 91 and see for yourself one of the last brutal match that were back in the days in France Championship. Those guys were not afraid to take punches and when the shit hit the fans, they were not the one whinning in the skirt of the referees.

Before I viewed it? Graham Mourie crossed my mind. After looking at it 3 times, not only is he the greatest flanker, he could be the greatest 2nd row 😉 In the bloody 🌏 mate! Salutations from a Bok. Living in Kensington and Chelsea; in London. Moved here aged 12. Father's engineering job. Best UK winger I've seen, isn't Gerald Davies or J J Williams, or even the big guy, who caused problems with ABs. Mister John Bevan. No! It's the little dynamo, Shane Williams. RIP JPR. He caused many problems too .

Joking aside, I played at low level from 88 to 2010 and the game was much better in the 2000's than it was before and is now. The way it's going now it'll be a game for fannies within a few years.
