This is vintage stuff from my hometown and on my birthday to boot. I noticed the Lion Brown ad too. Night games suck. Best to kick off at 2pm than have to wait all day.
@laurizis The lineout was originally contested with teams jumping unsupportedl. However, lifting in the lineout was later introduced & under Law 19 of the IRB rules, players are now allowed to pre-grip and lift in the lineout. It is thought that lifting in the lineout was first introduced by a Trafford MV RFCC B Millington in the early 1980s. In truth, I reckon it was popularised and found it's way into law when RSA rejoined world Rugby at the end of Apartheid, as they were already doing it.
i remember kicking that rugby ball in primary school with bare feet
almost broke my toes, but you just play on

Night games make for crappy backline stuff. Afternoon games always give better running rugby. Unfortunately NZRFU is now pandering to TV audiences .

JK's try was awesome. I agree with Keith Quinn he did leave Campo behind.

I'm showing my age but I really miss rugby games that kicked off in the afternoon rather than at night
