With 100 years of All Blacks v South Africa rugby being celebrated in 2021, we are looking back at some of the classic matches between the sides. We kick off the thriller from Ellis Park in 1997. CREDIT: Sky Sport NZ

Frank Bunce was a great centre. I enjoyed watching him play - North Harbour, Chiefs, ABs

@ Uli Vao I enjoyed watching him too. There is no way he ought to have scored those tries, but for his guile and audacity! He must have beaten five or more defenders!! The cheek of it!!

New Zealand only saw his greatness after the Samoan team picked him on their 1995 world cup team. That was the best 15 team Samoa ever had.

I'll always remember the purity of that Bunce try. Through the gap, kept the defense guessing, try! Hard to score such tries now with roaming defense. Awesome.

I have followed every single Bok test since 1995 but can't remember this game for the life of me. Probably followed it on radio. One of the all time great games. Boks deserved a draw...De Beer and drop goals though..."well we have another Naas Botha on our hands". I think the week after this the Boks thumped Aus 61-22 and then Nick Mallet took over.

Typical Springboks playing negative football, with chances to put NZ under pressure and score tries, instead they went for drop goals, and penalties. The All Blacks scored 4 converted tries, and 3/3 penalties. Springboks, scored 2 converted tries, 4/5 penalties, 2/3 drop goals.

The whole system is flawed in SA as government involvement and politics have killed the game by taking it away from the people who really cared about the game of rugby. I agree they need to expand the games beyond traditional playing cultures or groups but this shouldn't come at a cost to anyone. Just look how weak the provisional sides are, transformation caused this. With better players moving overseas or either giving up on going pro as they are not getting the opportunities to develop at elite level.
