[@biggest23]

Yep, that’s how I remember it. Good stuff mate.

[@Mimeniia]

Sublime chaos!

[@koosvandermerwe8298]

Good memories !

[@sakabula2357]

If they ref these games with today's rules...both teams would be red carded by half time and no one on the field..

[@ddaavvee68]

i’ve never been a fan of high tackles, but i do miss the days of using the boots in rucks.

[@countycricklewood]

Where can I find part one?

[@OldSchoolRugbyTCK]

It’s saved to a hard drive which I have conveniently mis-placed. As soon as I find it I will upload it!

@@OldSchoolRugbyTCK Thanks. It is pure gold. In South Africa, we call artefacts of South African history by the collective noun "Africana". This is pure Africana! Thanks for these treasures! 😊

French can like to punch but can't take it when it comes back!

[@chisterax2013]

wel.l...isnt' it the case of all of us ? 🙂

[@ConradMarbourg3635]

@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.

Green & gold = Boks, we know the All Blacks … what about the rest Are you going to tell us who eg is the blue and white? Or any rough idea of when?

All Blacks (Black) - 1965, 1976, 1992 - 1965, featuring two "old" rivals - Colin Mead (NZ) & Frik du Preez (SA) - 1965, featuring Jannie Barnard, John Gainsford, and Dawie de Villiers 4. Ireland (Green) - 1981 The Springboks played in White for the two match test series in South Africa 5. England (White) - 1984 6. Australia (Gold and Green) - 1993

[@christobosman5710]

Speak for yourself pal , look up racism s meaning and then culture conscious , their is a bog difference between the two , it seems you didn't learn anything in school that is to say if you had proper education .

[@christobosman5710]

....big difference....

[@zarg64]

south africa, cheater and bad guy...

[@theDudeknows]

There is no place for thuggery in rugby. It is a beautiful game and dirty tactics are not needed if you are a good player.

[@Deontjie]

I think there is plenty of space.
