fantastic both 1974 and 1980 teams.
Ball kept alive. So great trys... I was there 🎉
What a marvelous team. No wonder they won the series!
24 years ago but did you notice the playing style? Quick ball and lots of support, which seems to be missing in much of today's rugby.
I forgot how good John Bentley was. Thanks for posting this.
interesting England didn't use him, a real world beater
They had phenomenal strength in depth in the centres in this tour. Gibbs, Bateman, Guscott, Tait were all phenomenal and the bolter was Will Greenwood.
Their continuity in the warm-up matches was remarkable. Great offloads and looking to keep the ball alive.
The speed of attack is superb. Guscott.... too cool to smile.
I remember reading about Ian McGeechan spending time with the All Blacks in 1996 on their tour; they weren't going to outmuscle the Springboks so had to find another way - the result was some great open Rugby.
Yes you are right in 1996 we the all blacks won a series there for the 1st time a year later the lions won 2 1 they had depth in every position great team respect from a all black supporter 👌👌🖒🖒😃😃
I was growing up during this era .. This was rugby!
That Bentley try is iconic, and unfortunately not shown much here but what a talented player Allan Bateman was
Definately true and not bad for a Rugby League import. Fray Bentos on we go
@@billblamire2923 Bateman wasn't a rugby league import. He was a Welsh international in union before he went to league, and returned as soon as union went pro. (just like Gibbs, Quinnel and Tait)
The rugby boys who went to the dark side came back fitter stronger and learned how to tackle !
@@tonycrossley2465 all the players mentioned were so special, such a wonderful tour
Fantastic Afrikaans commentary.
Doddie Weir & Tom Smith RIP

Yes thank u hope u are well.
Cracking rugby but how different to today’s game?. Ball retention seems almost optional compared to modern times
Some of those pitches looked like they were designed to either kill you, or make you into a man!
1974 lions team best ever
Such fluid rugby……unlike the defense dominated turgid crap of today. All the defense of rugby league with none of the fluidity of union today……give me 80s & 90s union any day….except for England’s kick and maul tedium of the 90s.
