I must say, being a Lions (Transvaal) supporter for four decades is very frustrating, in so far as they are situated in the most populated and richest province in South Africa with excellent rugby schools yet struggle to CONSISTENTLY win trophies always losing good players, but this is due to poor administration with the exception of Louis Luyt (R.I.P) and Kevin de Klerk.

Are you the same Gerhard Combrinck playing 8th man for the Lions in this game?

Die Ntvl like booooooooo

Looking at the crowds here and currently I'd say south Africa has a bigger following for rugby at all levels ...new Zealand the other rugby power has seen it's attendances shrink to the extent that only the all blacks can promise a sell out

What a gem of a find 👏👏👏 Great memories

Great memories watching these old Currie Cup games! Thanks for sharing. Excellent video and audio quality too. I was just a young boy growing up in South Africa who used to watch rugby every weekend, most times with my dad. Great nostalgia. Cheers!

Hi Gerhard Lekker om te sien.Was saam met jou op skool in Vryheid..Riaan Schutte..(Kriek) Als wat mooi is verder.

Suid-Afrikaanse uniemanne kon so verdomp goed terugkyk voordat die wedstryd professioneel geword het

As a Kiwi, I've always loved the Transvaal jersey. It's so distinctive and striking.

*Uli Schmidt is it*

Nice to see Garth Wright from Muir College vs Joost van der Westhuisen.

Lekker man... Rugby 🏉 op sy beste

Waar in dienwereld is jy vriend? Ek bly in die Paarl

You naughty parsnip! This is actually the 1996 Super 12 game, round 11, 11 May 1996. Watching this took me back in pleasant ways. It revived a mystery as well. Transvaal looked like a team who should have been made for Super rugby - a strong forward pack and a high quality backline, but they really struggled. Some of it was probably 'rub of the green' as the competition was always closer than it looked. I do wonder if they had a 10 who could really light up that backline and perhaps the tight five lacked the mobility for this style of rugby, so that there was a bit of a disconnect between the loose trio and the rest. That was a fantastic QLD side. Morgan back from a weird excursion to League - a disaster. It turned out he went into his League stint with a neck injury and it reminds one that many cases of players seeming to be in poor form are because they are carrying injuries that don't stop them playing but do stop them playing at peak and if you are just a few points off peak, you look ordinary. As viewers we should be more tolerant with players who seem to be struggling.

Thanks so much for uploading this. Two great sides of their era.

Everything Uncle Mike is saying is 120% true- and I grew up in the Queens/New York Republican Political Machine. We came to the States in 1980- in 1984 I was attending Reagan's Inaugural Ball. But there were rules that one couldn't break- your mentors would have had you for a snack! That Vivian Kensington from LEGALLY BLONDE - I was her! I wore fake pearls since I was 18! And muted colors and argyle sweaters. These days there are no rules. Jenny Psaki makes a total idiot out of herself, the entire Antifa world is laughing at her- and she gets a promotion! Do you have any idea what Serphin Maltese or Joseph Kasper would have done to me if they ever caught me speaking " French "??? Then why did Victoria Nuland get away with saying, " F...EU ! " ??? Why is the descendant of an Odessa fishmonger is treated differently than me- who's the adoptive descendant of the man who basically WAS Odessa and Zhmerinka??? As far as Daddy was concerned I'm a true Lyulkin. He told me so! Not to return your client's phone call, all those false promises, all those " multiple projects in various stages of production " that don't exist de jure or de facto- this is not about show business anymore! It's everywhere. I agree with Uncle Mike- it's pure Satan because every bit of decency, every bit of love is being snuffed out.

" Al Sharpton is a gun for hire. " That's why he's still alive.

I wonder what happened to Pieter Du Randt. Maybe he became an Os.

Rugby at it's best!! The old Super 12 was the pinnacle if club and provincial rugby!! Miss those days where every game was like a test match.

Toyota Corrolla Sprinter and Ford Courier Breakdowns. Those were the days haha

Wow! This is actually really great rugby! It flows way better than the modern game.

Used to get videos of the Curry Cup and watch the game days later in Ireland. Always had a fascination with SA aRugby.

Noord lucky

*Altyd goed om na die ou speletjies te kyk*

Great, Lomu and Pienaar on the same field for one of the last times, if not the last.

06:26 Krynauw Otto a flanker?

Gerbrand Groberlaar was my cricket coach and such a nice man

Title needs a slight tweak. This wasn't the final, that was between the Blues and the Sharks in Auckland.

Dankie for uploading this. Golden years of Transvaal rugby

Is this the earliest footage of J9?

its 2023 and im on an rabit hole of exposing freemasonry

Is this the earliest known footage of J9?

Nice Gerhard..enige 92 games van RAU?

Dankie Gerhard, jy nie dalk 89 Rau Tuks op Loftus?

Dit is altyd lekker wanneer Noord-Transvaal vir WP wen!

Wie is die Afrikaanse kommentator?

Om te dink dat paar jaar later het Gerbandt, Heinrich, Uli, Hannes en Gerhard almal vir Transvaal gespeel

wonderlike dae voor die lewe lelik was ek was 13 jaar laas op n veld vir lewende game spel vandag is n gemors

Dankie vir die videos..... soek my dood na die Paasnaweek-Rugby.....

lekker ou dae huidige game is rubbish

when life was good in our land game has become a joke

Is jy Comix Combrink?

Watching from Birmingham UK. For all the clamouring for professionalism by 1995, we had it quite good back in the amateur days. One thing is for sure, clubs like Wasps and Worcester wouldn't have needed bankrolling by money men and eventually gone to the wall.

Great upload. Really miss those Intervarsities from the 80s and early 90s 👍

What was that move at 1:25:00? Not seen that in donkie jare.

wow, love to see all these old games on your channel! Do you have more from currie cup? :)

Old OVS stadium, those were the days 🏆
