A factor behind Jones losing his job in 1987-88 was his radio presenter role given that a tour of Great Britain with matches in England and Scotland and 1 match in Wales which was against The Barbarians had been scheduled for the NH Autumn/SH Spring of 1988 and if he was to carry on as coach he had to be available to lead the Wallabies on that tour of Great Britain whereas Bob Dwyer was more likely to focus on the coach role
as a Kiwi I dont see South Africa as our greatest rugby rivals . in any sport our greatest rivals will always be our Anzac big brothers and sisters across the Tasman sea Australia .I grew idolising not only kiwi rugby players but aussies like David Campese, Nick Farr-Jones, Michael Lynagh , Andrew Slack , The Ella brothers , Simon Poidevin, and Peter Fitzsimmons. Peter Fitzsimmons is a great friend of the NZ people and a well sort after dinner speaker here in NZ . The apartheid bullshit that split NZ in 1981 puts me off the South African rugby team . I also love the Warriors for that reason for that reason . we get to play Aussie teams each week

Love it! Some tough memories, having grown up in New Zealand around that 91 World Cup but great to see this!

You need to learn your history
At 24-24 had Blanco not scored at the last minute that Australia v France Semi Final would have gone to extra time
What year was this film made?
