Were there any black people at that game?

@@eddien01 Yes all blacks!

ME AND MY DAD WERE ALSO THERE. I WAS 7 YEARS OLD FROM GORDONSBAY😀

​@@eddien01Yes, many

@@SilverHayzeYes, but it was strictly segregated, non-whites were compelled to stand behind the south side try area.

he sounds ridiculous

Afrikaans is baie ( heel ) na Nederlands. Hy is as amptelike taal verklaar in die Suid-Afrikaanse Unie, op 08 Mei 1925. Deur Nederlands te vervang.

Ik kan ook wel Nederlands maar ik versta er toch best weinig van. Niet niks. Maar bij lange na niet alles of zelfs het gros.

Harder in the sense there was some pretty filthy foul play. But the level.of play now is much more intense. And the players are huuuge. They do all right tho. I remember grant fox being asked how he thought his 1987 world cup winning side would go against the 2011 side. He just laughed and said "they'd kill us".

Not to mention that there were no subs in these days.

Was a wet muddy day with a bad ref and 2 cynical teams both kicked every ball. Not a spectacle but tough and enjoyed it.

Never as hard as today talk kak.

@@anthonytromp6265 You obviously never saw players being raked with one Aluminium studs. Of course that is KAK to I suppose. I saw Balie Swarts back, but that is kak to I suppose. Jy praat Kak swaar I was there.

You all sat on him while watching tv did you?

Nah Going had a shocking performance that day, with passes Going astray and kicks Going nowhere. The least I can say is that he wasn't Going to make it easy for the All Blacks!

I agree. Games were more compelling. However offside was only loosely refereed making it a bit of a lottery.

You dumb idiot

Mate. I worked on the sidelines of test matches and super rugby. It's hard. Brutally hard. These players would be blown off the field within 15 mins against todays players. Get a clock and time the "in play" duration of these games compared to today. It's more than 2 to 1. That's not to say, some of these players couldn't step up, but they'd have to work on their fitness

some great skills by the bok forwards

I bumped into Sid Going at the supermarket the other day. Not a tall man at all, but legendary player.

Would love to understand the commentator.

Yes full respect from new Zealand for afrikans

Afrikaans

My Dad joked, when Sid Going gets into the loose scrums the Springboks would grab his head because he's bold. The boks would think his head is the ball

a high school team from Portugal 2023 would beat these teams

True,so loose and free to carry on scrumming while the whistle has been blown.

​@@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4No they wouldn't,not even close,where is Portugal in the Schools rankings?.

Most of professional rugby players will not last whole match. Let alone played 30 odd matches in 3 months tour

third test is on you tube..ray mordt's hat trick

Speak Swahili, mate!

There's nothing professionals about today's sports Most of our 80 minute games are whistle line outs 70 kicks and time wasting These men actually played close to 80 minute's of physical sport

I was at Pretoria Boys in 1976 and remember them practicing at the school....good times

so lekker to see? so delicious 🤔✨

​@@lyndongloag5774i was born in 1976

Mayhem.

oh so true

All Blacks never really amateurs - nudge nudge wink wink

@@chrisbaxter3597 Shamateurs, like England at the time.

My ❤ goes out for those props, what a mess neck injuries and lower back problems at 36 years old!😂😂😂

Agree, those scrums look wild now! 🙂@@loveofsports7096

But effective. No time wasting like today.

Watching this because of Super Sid Going from Maromaku Northland New Zealand,What a game,Sadly Sid Going passed away last night 17 May 2024 ,Rest in peace Super Sid Going..Going..Gone😢

Super Sid. Going Going Gone..... but NEVER forgottenn. RIP.

The saddest story about the rivalry between the Springboks and the All Blacks,is when Jonah Lomu came especially to meet with Joost,and to encourage him through his illness.then he passed away just before Joost.but I like to think they are great mates up there.lovely history between the greatest rugby history between these two countries.theres just something magical in the air every time these two teams meet, nothing in world rugby comes close to this.respect to our NZ friends.its a privilege to play against you.

the order of today is boring

+Izzy Craig Thanks to League in the 80s (Winfield cup) union entirely change their rulings to accommodate a faster game in 1995 ..wont the proof watch League in the same era

Manwell Haumu You are 100 percent right, and I believe the Aussies had something to do with this. League wasn't fully professional back in those days.

Back in those days, if a Union player had any contact with a league scout; he faced threats of getting banned from the sport for life. If they switch codes from union to league, players will face a lifetime ban. This occur a lot in England and Wales.

Use your damn eyes, the game has gotten slower for generations, mainly by playing overweight players.

There are many things to complain about in modern rugby. Teams are coached to the point that they are unable to think on the field of play (think of players walking backwards from a driving maul not even thinking of joining in and stopping it!). The turgid, over-long scrums with meticulous setting instructions from the referee - only for the ball to be put in crooked so that there is no competition anyway; they needn't have bothered! The farce of lifting. This 1976 match showed rugby at its best. So what that the amateur players were not bulked up with steroids like the modern professional players? So what that handling, passing and kicking sometimes goes awry? All of those deficiencies were made up in the sheer speed and frenetic excitement of the match. The driving rucks - and god help anyone caught on the bottom - had everyone on the edges of their seats.As McLaren would have said, "it's harem-scarem stuff".

Wow, excellent!!

Because he is speaking afrikaans

Lol

John Ritchie that’s the joke he was making

You never know nowadays

I'm sure I heard "Going" "Robertson" and "Leslie" and I dont speak afrikaans

I believe the reason the Boks did the collapse scrums on purpose because they don't want the All Blacks to get the straight feed and wanted them to get a penalty. Collapsed scrums weren't that common back in the old days because forwards were small back then as back rows.

@@aboriginalbrotha9947 thats right. They brought in a 20 stone prop Johan Strauss to lift Perry Harris (a lightweight prop) out of position and disrupt the scrums and it worked to a degree

Guess you had many black and Asian mates with you!

Watching Fawcett played for Uni couple of time, Never fancy him as a AB FB material type. There was a reported several players were going awol in that tour .

Johnny Kessel that would be the second test wouldn't it. The one NZ won.

Only first half of the game broadcast, wtf

That was my 13th birthday lol 👍

Congratulations Natasja, that was 22nd birthday and in the bush war. If I find the match, I'll post it.

Jinne as ek kyk na hoe die skrums destyds was yo Dan lag ek van lekker kry geen orde nie die was maar wil in die skrums .

Wat my onmiddelik getref het is die uiters swak toestand van die veld.

The rugby back then wasn't as good as in the 90s when I played, our pukekohe under 19s team would of thrashed both of these team I garuntee

This match was broadcast by the SABC. They probably still own the rights.

Some of the Boks in the '76 series had unusual nicknames: Jacobus Fredrick Beatrix "Piston" van Wyk Jacobus Casperus Johannes "Rampie" Stander Johannes Lodewikus "Moaner" van Heerden Johannes Hermanus Hugo "Boland" Coetzee Johannes Lodewyk "Klippies" Kritzinger Jacob Johannes "Kol" Oosthuizen Johannes Servaas "Gerrie" Germishuys

I believe his fists pumped like pistons in the scrums.

Cringe worthy bro.

Best thing Buck Shelford ever did was sort out the AB Haka.

That's because it's their language. Funnily enough French commentators do it in French.

I used to listen to afrikaans commentary in the 70's as a kid. Sometimes I could not get Eastern Province games in English. Especially up in the Transvaal

Wow you must have a good memory, that was almost 54 years ago now. I was a young boy in 1970, I watched highlights of some of the tour matches on b&w TV with my dad back here in NZ. I also have an old copy of the book Battling the Boks by NZ author TP McLean. Williams scored a try within the first few minutes of the match at Pam Brink. However it was better remembered as the match in which Pinetree Meads broke his arm. The All Blacks won 24-3.

wrxstigoabs Better ball handling skills eh lmao

I watched the entire game, from what I could see the ref was very fair, not sure where he was bent?

But that is the point - he did it to everyone including the Boks. A bit like Stuart Dickerson. Somewhat dosy but not out to get anyone.

That's why they have to fully commit to it now...because the alternative is hilariously camp!

Morris Dancing

What do you mean back in the 70s?!

Its always camp

yeah, they kept on changing Duncan Robertson from 1st five back to fullback.

Laurie Mains was a top class goal kicker in the squad but the selectors ignored him.

Perhaps, but only a max of 4 NZers could be awarded honorary white man status ... So he may have missed out anyways.

Gerald Bosch was equally bad at kicking for posts. Notice how he doesn't even look at goal before kicking! How can you hope to score if you don't even look where the posts are? Weird...

That is so sweet...I hope you found it

Good luck from nz. Hope you guys got it.

The First overseas test televised live back to NZ was the 1972 NZ vs Wales NZ 19 Wales 16 At the time when Wales were having thier golden era, the All Blacks were a young and very inexperienced team, with a few rebels and trouble makers. On paper Wales should have thrashed the All Blacks The Welsh are still bitter and twisted about this result as they are about the 1978 result against proably one of the weakest All Black teams that ever toured The UK

How about a good ol' redhead backline for good measure? Glen Osborne, Grant Batty, John Gallagher, Tony Brown...

What's the point, mate?

Good eye bro..had a gliding acceleration into the gap..Mr Set up !

The thoroughbred of the team.

😂😂😂 No

Exactly bro

Yeah only foreigners were exposed to the AB theatrics. Now the whole world needs to hear about their inbred culture

@@Bokgaatjie Come now, there not so bad.

@@Bokgaatjie Elaborate..

Judy Te Kanawa your jumping cavemen of course. It’s a bit much. No diff than the zulus catching fire in sa, or the roach eating abos. passé

NZ would've won 3-4 series in SA if they had neutral refs the SA refs were the worst that incident you brought up about Robertson would've been a yellow card and penalty try today

@@Trajan2401 That disallowed penalty try to the late great Bruce Robertson in the 4th test which probably would have given the ABs the win left a sour note with him. Robertson refused to play against the Boks in 1981and sited the apartheid system and the refereeing in 76 as the reasons.

Well considering how the 3rd test ended in 1981 with a NZ ref making up new rules on the spot I think it is safe to assume you lot were pretty good at it too. It is a piss poor NZ way of crying about cheating that you see in the older people in that country. Even the players. You weren't good enough to win more. Could hardly put a kick over.

​@@Trajan2401yeah, as bent as the AB refs were in NZ. The 1981 3rd test penalty at the end was pure cheating. Picking boxers to beat up props. Grow up you sad excuse for a New Zealander.

The 1981 test series had neutral referees. I think the 3rd test ref was Clive Norling from Wales.@@christoduplessis8177

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaans

Afrikaans

probably!!!

Yeah I think that was still the leather balls.

yeah it was, brown thick leather

Jo Brown I don't think it was heavier: legs were less powerful. You can see the same thing if you look at a football match of the seventies: goalkeepers' kicks barely reached the midfield line.

yes thats right, but the kickers these days are more physically developed and have more knowledge and skills to launch the ball further.
