The Day Gavin Lawless Scored 50 Points In One Match

In 1997 Gavin Lawless made his debut for the Sharks in the Super 12, when they took on the Otago Highlanders at Kings Park. Lawless put in a flawless kicking exhibition and also scored 4 tries to rack up 50 points! This record still stands today.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Wow! This is probably the single greatest performance by a player on debut. Awesome testament to how good Natal was in that era. And to think he had to fill the enourmous boots of the Rolls Royce of rugby.

[@calvinspaceman]

I was at this game, I'll never forget this performance even though I was only 13

[@ThePabloBarlow]

Gavin was CEO in charge of Avnet, in Sydney Australia in the 2000's and I worked for him. If I'd have seen this earlier, I would have worked harder!!!

[@douglasherron7534]

Fantastic performance by both Lawless and the Sharks! The thing that makes this record even more remarkable is that Otago were a decent side and the final score 70 - 43 show it wasn't one-way traffic... I was living in Jo'burg at the time and don't remember seeing this - though I wish I did (could have been a Saturday recovering from a Friday night...)!!

Still cannot believe the Boks played the ‘97 Lions series without a goal kicker. They could have stuck this guy on the wing (Andre Joubert on 15) and we would have taken that series We lost the second test (and series) 15-18 scoring 3 tries to 0

[@itsovergetuptherejoe]

I couldn’t believe it at the time. The good news is the Boks have not run on to a major test match without a kicker since.

Ref: it's against the the law for one man to score 50 points in a game. Gavin: what's my Muthaf@rken name!

What ever happened to Gavin Lawless after playing a short while for Natal?

[@ThePabloBarlow]

He was CEO of an IT company in Sydney in the 2000's. Avnet: a huge US company... So he went onwards and upwards!

Did this Guy become a Springbok and what era was this footage... Quality Player in his day...

[@RealRugby]

Never played for the Springboks. As the description of the video says, this game was played in 1997

[@ay613]

Why was his surname 'Lawless' 😂

[@RealRugby]

Probably got it from his dad...
