Thanks for showing the game ! South Africa (Springboks) and All Blacks, two of the best sides on the planet !!

Great video thank you!

The brutality of rugby back then would never be tolerated today with cameras and replays seeing everything on the field. The 1956 test series between the ABs and Boks is probably the most famous series ever. The ABs won in the end but it was brutal stuff.

I have to disagree with that. The Lions beating the boks in 1974 is top of the list.

Fair enough if you are a lions fan. thanks@@smilodontiger5675

Very interesting rules back then - what rules!. I'm sure i saw a few cow pancakes too. Thanks for the watch.

Now we've got dozens of rules governing how you play. Did you see anyone hurt in this match? That tackle in the air that someone commented on would for sure have been a penalty today and maybe a yellow card but did you notice the the tackler went down with his arms around his opponents ankles and the Bok kept hold of the ball? I didn't see brutality in this match, nothing like today.
