He was a running first five assisted by his very successful combination with Otago team mate Chris Laidlaw, which meant McRae and Davis could hit the ground running at pace. A great backline which matched the equally effective backlines in the UK and Australia of the day.

That year's Wimbledon saw the start of live outside colour broadcasts. I understand that coverage of the Men's Singles final only survives.

I didn't know that. Thanks@@Speedy4527

​@@youtubearchive3668what a ridiculous comment, his weights are accurate

But at least the Ref looked nice in red.

even on 405 lol

@alexmacleod3728 Surely it was 625 only in colour as BBC2 was only UK channel in colour until ​1969 and BBC1 was 405 in black and white until 1969.

@@robdykes3659 No fun.

@@cheloxmv what does that mean, no fun, we had fun in those days but we respected the other team and not to rub their nose,s in the shit because we were scoring tries, there,s no respect today, players jumping all over everyone,isn't it enough to score and beat them without making the other team fell worse

​@@cheloxmv fun is winning

It was Fred Allen. He wanted running rugby. Basically NZ played 10 man rugby. They went back to it. Then the Lions showed up four years after this and played running rugby, especially in the second and third tests against the All Blacks.

He was my hero as a kid.....at age 19 I was in a dingy little bar in Wellington. He walked in.........walked right past me to the loo.....I was too scared and amazed to say anything to him.

I watch this and feel embarrassed to be a new Zealander

Remember Mac Herewini at Manukau Rovers RC Mangere, also a great rugby player back in the days and years later being served beers by Waka Nathan who owned the local Manukau pub Onehunga, a real gentleman and All Black. Couple of famous names from our past buddy. I'm sure we still had the pound in 1967 but unsure when it changed to dollars, things sure weren't quite the same after that.

robicenco1 The earliest color telecast of a football game in any code that I can think of was an American football game on January 1st, 1954 between Michigan State University and the University of California at Los Angeles. That game was televised over the NBC network in the United States, although no videotape (either color or black-and-white) of that game exists to my knowledge.

+Aaron Camp I believe AMPEX 2'' videotape became operational in 1955, with its colour equivalent being ready in 1957. I think that the earliest surviving colour videotape is an NBC Fred Astaire special from 1958 [Brought to you by Chrysler]... It's here in KZfaq somewhere.

Thanks - I meant the first colour football match broadcast in the United Kingdom, but it is interesting just how much earlier the US switched to colour.

@@robicenco1 NTSC existed as a black and white standard beforehand, so the colour version was made with black and white compatibility in mind. European companies weren't happy with how it performed, and it likely would have been worse if they tried to apply it to the lower resolution 405-line formats used in countries like the UK at the time. PAL was then developed as a 625-line system and patented in 1962. So, all new equipment for transmission and receivers was needed. BBC2 was launched at B&W 625-lines in 1964, ready for the first colour broadcasts in 1967.

BBC2 was the first TV channel in Europe to broadcast in colour. It wasn't until the middle of the Autumn 1969 that BBC1 followed suit, along with ITV, - region and franchise launches over the next few years notwithstanding, along with industrial disputes when staff demanded extra pay for operating upgraded equipment.

The All Blacks' fast, slashing attack was spectacular in this game.

Correct

That's also because we had players like Ian McRae (2nd 5) and Bill Davis (Centre), the successful combination from Hawkes Bay which had the Ranfurly Shield about that time captained by the late Kel Tremain. McRae was a hard runner and Davis was very quick ... both still with us.

Non relevant fact relating to myself, I was born 9 years later in the same province as Jonah lomu, also played rugby in the same position as Jonah lomu in the same province at the same time as jonah lomu in the same town ,in the same style of game as just at under 21s club level,

You're forgetting Nathan, Herewini, Rangi, Skudder, Milner, Jennings and others prominent players of the era.

It has.

You must be blind

yes this is real rugby. I don't know what the name of the game I see today is called?

Amateurs against pros more like.

NZ were basically professionals and have had a massive head start in rugby development. Give it another 20 or 30 years and the times will change.

Ah not really, their best ever team lost to Wales in 1905/6.

@@Talbot6832 Really, in 1967? A lot of them were Farmers and the like. They got fit from their work.

It was generally noted at the time and often since that the difference was in the level of fitness and the ability to play hard for the full 80 minutes ... negated largely since by the substitution rule.

NBC started color around 1954 then abandoned it to around 1965 as the technology was just not up to it at the time, color cameras required huge amounts of light and were electronically unstable especially outside. Color videotape caused huge problems as well, a time-shifted tape sent to another state would often not play properly away from the original recorder.

@@Witheredgoogie "The first color telecasts were of Dodgers games in August and September of 1951, part of the campaign by CBS to establish its electronic-mechanical system as the standard (RCA’s all-electronic system would win out in 1952). The first use of color in a national game was by NBC for the 1955 “Subway Series” between the Dodgers and the Yankees. In 1967, WHDH covered the Red Sox using RCA TK-43 “Big Tube” cameras, which performed better in varying light conditions, including nighttime games. Baseball uniforms and even stadium seats soon became more colorful to make a better impression on TV." ethw.org/Technological_Innovations_in_Sports_Broadcasting#Graphics_2

And the halfback puts the ball in straight. That never happens now - the halfback gets penalised only if he puts the ball in under the locks' feet. That's how it seems, anyway...

Fast yes but bloody dangerous....props pulling down, poor body positions...

@@MarsFKA are you talking about League scrums😵‍💫

@@iancurtis1152 League? Dirty word. Please wash your mouth out with strong whiskey..

@@MarsFKA ok

Back then, the scrums were set straight away, the ball went down the middle - no halfback at any level has put the ball in straight in the last thirty years - and wheeling the scrum was a legitimate tactic. Now, it's crouch/pause/touch/feel and someone gets penalised just about every time.

Peter Baldwin Lol wut

The skill level of some of the England players was deplorable. And the refereeing was pretty lax. Don't think the ABs threw the ball straight in one line out.

A couple of nice runs by england but overall well beaten

That first England try was pretty slick I thought. They could have been dangerous had they had parity up front. This was one of the first games I watched live in the middle of the night, as a kid. Still love to hear Bill McLaren's voice and rue the day when 'local' commentators took over.

Hanging their heads in shame as they do the haka, omfg, its supposed to be a proud moment of new Zealand culture representing you're country , they did it like this because they are mostly white , and the white new Zealanders and Maori culture had not bonded well yet

ralmcg Yes, rugby was originally a spin off of football, so was all about kicks (same as Aussie rules, Gaelic football)... So over time scoring has gone from kicks only, to tries, with a rebalancing of points to the latter gradually over 150 odd years

ralmcg rugby used to be worth 0 points but when you had the chance to "try" convert for a point which was worth 1

Alfa&Omega 00000 Quite right, except that Rugby is the real football of course.

It was noticeable that the All Blacks particularly were giving away cynical penalties rather than concede a try. It was thought that by increasing the points for a try would focus players minds more on try scoring, although it increased slowly, first to 4 points in the early 70’s and eventually 5 in the early 90’s. I understand that was the reasoning for it from what I remember.

He had a very short career….refused to go to South Africa in 1970 . Died 3 or 4 years ago

Hi

And they were rank! ABs got away with murder. Standard of reffing was v low.

No um after every few words

ESPN Classic isn't even broadcast on cable anymore.

Maori rugby was not very strong in the 60s and if you look at the team half of them were All Black greats. So I don't see your point other than the crap haka?

They performed it only at away matches (Outside New Zealand) and in front of the crowd, it was later in the mid 70s when they did in front of the opposing team (led by Sid Going, who was from the Māori iwi Ngāpuhi) and later in the 80s whem it was led by Hika Reid, Frank Shelford and then, by Wayne Shelford (the latter who taught the ABs to do it properly)

Lonewolf777able You wouldn’t recognize real rugby football then

you wouldn't say that to them in person though...not if you were playing against them....

bullshit

@@doubts oh yeh i played rugby alright, only in south Auckland new zealand, only from under 9s till seniors, only on the wing same time and place as Jonah lomu , if jonah was from another province i might have made it into good sides, the all blacks were nothing back then by todays standards, I would of dumped most of them if not all of them on their asses , as i worked out alot with heavy weight lot of upper body strengh these guys are physically nothing , colin meads the biggest guy at 100 kg , ive tackled 180 kg player before , ive bumped off huge samoan players to score , these guys then were nothing , any old club side here would thrash them so so badly, they can hardly pass, ive seen loads of these old games the amount of passes that are at worm hieght is rediculous, watch the fuckin game what are you seeing for fuck sakes, i had dvds of classic matches and i say again they wer shit, the game has evolved so much , bee gee williams cant fuckin tackle he needed to go track and field coz all he liked doing was running him and dwarf Grant batty, he wouldnt even get concided these days coz hes not paletable , he looks silly the ballis the same size as his upper torso and his head
