I remember watching this live on TV. By the end I felt like I had played. What a game.
2 teams filled with giants of the game.
RIP Joost you were a joy to watch.
3:26
I stopped playing rugby eight years ago at the age of 52, there are aspects of playing that I don't miss at all and I particularly don't miss Sunday mornings and barely being able to get out of bed, but I desperately miss this! The five minutes of revving yourself up in the huddle with your teammates before the game begins, watching this almost brings me to tears, it's something that cannot be replicated!
I know, I stopped at 48 due to a permanent bicep injury and def had PTSD after for awhile. Why, well playing a sport that puts you in a situation where you'd be 15 mins into a game on a freezing rainy/sleety November evening, not feeling your fingers, seeing blood but not know where it's coming from, putting in hits, sometimes winning but not always, part of a team where you had made a difference but sometimes knew you could have done more. That 15 mins in you asked yourself, what the fuck am I doing, why not play cricket in the sun. Then 2 hours later in the bar, with mates, you are looking forward to the next game. Some game.
Keith Wood. Beast of a player 💪🏉
Tell you what, Dawson has thrown out some historic passes for drop goals
Brilliant game. The B & I Lions really shocked our nation, took us years to get over this loss!
We couldn't handle the fact we scored 3 tries to nil and still lost! But when you have no reliable kicker, big gamble!
Jenkins was a killer kicker, and Scott Gibbs and Guscutt were an awesome center pairing!
The B & I Lions were filled with lots of characters!
Coached by the brilliant Ian McGeechan
I genuinely love how we all dislike each other, and fight like cat and dog. But put the four of us together and we are unstoppable. That spirit once ruled the world
Spot on. Frenemies.
Unstoppable? Don't the Lions usually lose?? 😂
@@Comerford1986 aye on the pitch maybe, don't often lose when it counts ball bag 🇬🇧
@@chriswade9871 If it doesn't count on the pitch, then when?? Bizarre statement you've made there, fella.
I agree with the second part but the first part is that the celts hate the English which is not reciprocated
My old schoolmaster, Geech doing it in the way he always has. Pure class, thanks Geech!!!
As they left the changing room I was struck with how many leaders they had on the team. Brutal series of matches.
Some great players- Johnson, Dallaglio, Gibbs, Wood, Guscott, Hill & Townsend; some played in that series like great players Jenkins, Davison etc. and some were unexpected stars like Bentley & Tait- best Lions series ever!
I don’t know how many times I have watched that Test. Still puts a shiver down my spine!!
Get a life
@@bjpgm1233 jealous
Just like the shiver you get when your square peg round hole gets pegged
Bjp Gm123 You are very Low IQ,
Best ever comment in a changing room......”he’s going to give penalties he’s a Frenchman” 😂
If he wasn't french we probably would have lost...
Plus Johnson’s one - “say the names Kruger, du Randt , Teichmann- they’re all gonna f*cling get it!”
Gibbs was a monster on that tour
He was. The age old question was answered about what happens when an irresistible force (Gibbs) meets an immovable object (the all time legend Os Durant). That had been talked up a lot in the series buildup.
Result, Gibbs knocked Os on his butt. And that's rather a difficult thing to do...
@@interestedbystander196 I bet Scott Gibbs was at least 4 stone lighter too!
@@philipmarsden7104 ... but he was moving rather quickly at the time.
Jim Telfer at halftime “LIFT YA FUCKING HEEDS!!!” 😂💪🏻🏴
god forbid if you pissed around in class with jim telfer as your teacher.
What a set of players - and management!
What passion!
On a lions video binge tonight, this is probably my favourite, some team, even if very few Irish players, but that’s the beauty of the lions, doesn’t matter.
Never get tired of looking at this .
I think I’d run through a mountain if Keith Wood said so. A great leader
SO SO EXCITED about 2021, have my tour booked already
Ouch!
last of the great lions tours. never ever be the same
That was some team.....great characters and leaders....special
I can't wait to get my tickets for the 2021 series!
Love it.
This team was pure class .
Grew up as a kid watching jenks
Machine, he just didn’t miss... ever
Couldn’t play for toffee but he could kick!
He could play
@@jonathanprince8182 only at club level, he couldn’t do shit, but he could kick better than anyone ever... ever
@@deanrichards5223 judging by what you've said I'm guessing you never watched him play. You sound clueless 😂
to be fair he looked like he couldnt play a lick but he was in reality a fine player
I met this man! It was an honour. What a gent.
I bumped into Neil Jenkins plus a 6’5” lock in their Llanelli club blazers & ties on the street late at night, slightly swaying, in central London in the late 90s. I congratulated him on the series victory and we shook hands . He took a moment or two to compose himself, looked me in the eye and said, “ where’s Stringfellows?”
Scott gibbs💪
God I love the Lions!
"Wally! First scrum, twist that bahstad du Randt roond!". Love it.
One does not simply twist the Ox around...
McGeechan for Prime Minister!
Would’ve started crying if I was in there
"Twist that bastard right round"
"Whatever it takes, whatever it takes!"
I remember the day....😊
neil jenkins won that tournament. a great welsh player, and a great guy
"He's going to give penalties, he's a Frenchman".
What a squad that was
1997 is starting to look like 1897
The atmosphere is fucking brilliant
He's going to give penalties, he's a French man. Spot on!
Scott gibbs best 13 ever to have lived!
Shut your mouth
No. Perfectly suited to playing against South Africa though.
@@bjpgm1233 jealous
@Andy Butler best 12
As a bok supporter,well done Lions.
Love Jeremy Guscotts words,respect.Jim Telfer was a classic.I cant believe we had Carel " hadnt even coached a primary school in one game" du Plessis as a coach.
About as crap as Rudolph Streuli.
What were Sarfu smoking ?
Well done Lions.
Jesus that's intense from 4:00....you can hear someone, maybe more retching with nerves and tension...incredible atmosphere, pressure, intensity
That's Jenkins, absolute nervousness before the game. Absolute ice cool under the highest pressure from any angle when it matters.
Spot on from Guscott at half time! and never a truer word spoken by Jim Telfer "Aw Gregor man"
Lift yarrrr fackin heeeeeeds.
Funny hearing Guscott swear.. but even funnier how it sparked even more awkward swearing
Darn, the rucks and tackle-ball were a mess in those days compared to now!
Lol I love how 19 stops to give 8 a whack 12:00
dont talk to him, he's gonna give penalties, hes a frenchman 😂
The geech and telfer pair of legends
Heart at 8:05 as quiet man Gus' slightly raises his voice "now let's play some fuckin' 🏉" ... Karma after 12:00 when 19 punches 8 followed by Gus' drop goal
Joubert bombed that try opportunity right on half time.
Rodber was immense
The scariest man in the video is Jim Telfer. How, as a player, could you never do less than your best?
Anyone know where you can watch whole thing
On my Amazon prime account!! !
@@croftrn now tv ive watched it
On telly
@@waverunner3911 ive watched it wake up
Breaking the boks
Jim telfer is a legend but if he was sitting beside me at a match I think I’d have to just leave the stadium
Did you spot the springbok fan gloating into Telfer& McGeechan’s faces when Boks went ahead? Nowhere to be seen letter on in the vid, firmly in his seat!
Hope the English players in the lions squad get revenge on South Africa for losing the world cup final.come on lions let's eat up the springboks
Wales and Warren Gatland are gonna want revenge too for that super close semi final match
Yes I agree which my friend should give the lions all the more reason to kick the spring good arses the lions match's are so special they the lions players shouldn't need much motivation.four great nations coming together as one mighty team playing as a team.you Welsh are playing some good rugby which in term makes it easier for Warren to play most of the Welsh team however because what happening at the six Nations the English players have a lot to prove and as a half English and Irish I finding it hard to pick any of England or Ireland players who Warren can pick and do a good job for the lions.any way good luck to all the Welsh fans and hope yours team go on to win the grand slam.
Just admit it!!! The Sprinboks were better than England in the world cup!!! 32-12. Go Bokke🏆🏆🏆. They played two less world cup tournaments than the other with 3 titels to show.
Come. We are waiting. Its going to be epic!!
The Springbok fly half Henry Honibal was nicknamed 'Lem' which means blade in Afrikaans because of the way he cut through defences. He was put under so much pressure in the first two tests he was dropped for the third.
Honibal was the first player I ever seriously took note of and saw how good he was. As a young English lad first getting to know the game, he was awesome.
Dropped because of poor goal kicking. To make place for Jannie de Beer
"Lift yir fuckin heeds."
The last great rugby series.
9:24 Scott Gibbs bounces Oz Du Randt
never gets old!
1st test
I jumped up and punched a hole in the ceiling of my Nans house👍😂she was not please
look at the bokke clown at 6.54. Who was luaghing at the end?
What a moron, typical coward making gestures behind peoples’ backs.
Exactly- was super glued in his seat !
Also helps if the ref is with you and ignores your knock-ons.
Jacq? Springboks - most competitive players & the worst losers- it is the best sport ever to watch a Boks’ chat show after a defeat- 🤣😂😵💫🙀hi- lar- ious
Quite what Richard Hill was doing on the bench is anyones guess.
He wasnt, he started the game at no.7, neil back came on second half after having a great tour
Hes going to gave penalties as French man
That ref was Dodgy as F&ck!!!
thats a tiny dressing room
Lol who is it for? A question lingering on everyone's minds. Four countries trying to beat one and even if they win where is the cup kept. The players look confused when asked who do you play for 😁
Rodber no 8 at 12 mins in takes a punch to the face. Wrong choice of player to try that with.
Francois Pienaar gave him two punches at Sarries and that shut him up for good.
Tait was a terrible choice.
Gibbs was like a rhino ffs
Waw what a horrible language the speak at half time
It wasn’t too long ago that black people had separate facilities in your country. A bit of bad language shouldn’t phase you
Dean Suter boom
Clearly never played the game
Useless concept. If four countries can't beat one then there must be a serious problem with Rugby.
You clearly don’t know anything about test rugby or probably rugby at all- maybe you think the Lions go on the pitch with 60 players?! There is a very good reason why select teams like the Baabaas with players from the world invariably lose heavily to National teams- the technical aspects of the scrum, line out & set moves dominate rugby & as we all know practise make the perfect.
