Bokke v Wallabies version III

[Virgil]

There's some good stuff from an Aussie perspective in both "Rugby in the 70s" and "Rugby in the 80s" DVDs.

Didnt know the Wallabies actually won any tests in the 70's :lmao:

 

[Scarfman]

Well, that's what makes it an interesting DVD. Blokes talking about getting hammered week in week out. They slowly built themselves up to the point where - at the end of the 70s - they were world class again.

I like it, I'm chuffed that Deans has given Waugh, TPN & MMM a start it's smart coaching to give them some real game time before the big one in Brisbane. He should of rested Tuqiri as well & let Mitchell start on the wing.

Will be interesting to see how the scrum goes this weekend.

But thats what I would like to know a bit more about. The tour was before I was born and between 2 countries I have never lived in so I know very little about what actually occured in the lead up and aftermarth and what the public feeling was surrounding the tour. Sorry if that makes me ignorant.

Try to tell it the way myself as a jukkerige youngster 28 year old Boer Saffer experiensed this one. I did felt when posting about this one on TSF it sort of open some old wounds but hell as a Saffer I learned the only way to heal wounds is to talk it. No one can help where he come from and till this day myself will never shy away from my roots because thats something no one have control over and the past is a gorner and matter sweet nothing and only the future that counts.

Anyway I think the 1981 SA tour to NZ for all the right or wrong reasons played a big part in the lead up to the Cavalier one. That tour was one of my favourates and I'll put it in the top drawer. Think as a Springbok or All Black rugby player you'll always have the desire to play and beat the best. Springbokke not being around short of give reason for the players to go throw all those hassle they had to endure to the thing they want the most and that is playing rugby.

Most of the 1986 players started their internal careers in 1981. To go to the score sheets of 1981:
15 August 1981
AMI Stadium (Lancaster Park), Christchurch
South Africa 9 New Zealand 14
29 August 1981
Athletic Park, Wellington
South Africa 24 New Zealand 12

12 September 1981
Eden Park, Auckland

South Africa 22 New Zealand 25

We always felt that there was unfinish business regard that last one. In that second test Naas Botha had a blinder (1 conv, 5 panelties, 1 droppie) and in the last one Ray Mordt scored his famous three tries. If you look at the team sheet great players like Div Visser, Louis Moolman, Burger Geldenhuys, Naas Botha, Danie Gerber , Carel Du Plessis, Colin Beck & Johan Heunis just started their careers.

Cavaliers Tour:
10 May 1986
Newlands, Cape Town

South Africa 21 NZ Cavaliers 15 (thats the one I attended and remeber Carel Doep score the winning try in a rainy test.

17 May 1986
Kingspark, Durban

South Africa 18 NZ Cavaliers 19

24 May 1986
Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria

South Africa 33 NZ Cavaliers 18

31 May 1986
Ellispark, Johannesburg

South Africa 24 NZ Cavaliers 10

Up & until today (and I do get a lot of flak for this) I still believe the Bokke was in for a excellent change of winning that 1987 WC. Their players was on their peak.

OK regarding the politics, I dont know, I am to much in rugby but I cant assure you this great series pulled many a votes to convinse a lot of locals to vote yes to get rid of apartheid. That sort of enjoyment for our rugby supporters sort of make us vote for it in 1992 after we were boycotted. The All Black players in 1981 and the 1987 Cavalier players got a lot of flak from their own politicians for playing against the Springbokke in stead of getting credit for Saffers like myself voting against apartheid because of what we know of the enjoyment playing free sport.

Lote had a average game last week, he probably would rather since he readily admits he gets in form by playing more matches

 

[Pfitzy]

Oh jeez - Morty watching the ball there instead of his man and Bekker scores. Tahu did the right thing trying to shut down Jantjes, and it was 2 on 2 with Morty just standing there...

 

[Jury]

12 - 3 Boks.

Kick to come.

 

[Pfitzy]

OMFG - what was Giteau thinking there? Chalk up another to the Boks! Might as well just give them the ball at this stage. There is playing what is in front of you and just not playing FFS...

 

[Jury]

Butch James misses.

12-3 SA.

14 mins.

Spies working hard this game. Someone may have told him to run and get stuck in on the ground ...

 

[Jury]

Boks make great break and Wallabies turn over. Giteau, Hynds and Little Lotta make a break and run the pill about 50 ms. Last pass intercepted by Bok winger who is taken into touch.

Lineout Wallabies on Bok 22.

 

[Pfitzy]

We've already bombed two tries. Farken hell!

 

[Jury]

Jongi Nokwe (fantastic name) gets a second one.

17-3 Boks.

Kick to come.
