As a completely biased Highlanders fan, I remember spewing at the play at the 64:36 mark (@1:14:24) - didn't think you could take a player out without the ball (and then impede him). On the flip side, Stanley probably should have put it out rather than risking it like that.

I remember the NZ Schools team that had Jonah at No8 and Big Isitolo at 6. That is akin to having Godzilla and King Kong on your team.

Holy shit forgot Rhys Duggan played for the Highlanders

Man rugby was fast paced back then.

Check how many All Blacks are playing in this game OMG 😳 Wow!

All I can say is fast paced rugby

To much scrutiny at ruck time in todays rugby. To secure your ball at ruck time you had to send numbers to the ruck because everyone was able to have a crack at it on D which in hand created a lot of space for attacking rugby and a lot of continuity. Todays game there is to much rules so there only one person in having a crack at the ball which leaves a lot of players still on feet to defend.

This is from the Dinosaur Age! 😄 That 5m linage is so irritating! I'm thinking the ball or player is in touch and there's 5m to spare 😳 In the last five minutes or so, there would have been no one on the pitch if today's officials were present then with all the fouls and infringements that occurred!! The scrum was wheeling before the ball was put in!! Big time rugby!!😍😍😍😍😍👍
