This definitely my favourite game because it meant more to the All Blacks than the World Cup. This Game is the Holy Grail of Wins because of the long history of a series never been won on South African soil. It brings me to tears when I watch this game because this is the one that mattered so much
A truly great test between two great teams remember that game well people were crying after this game tons of respect for the boks for not giving up from a all black supporter 👏👏🖒🖒
Man, I know Cullen was known for his attacking skills, but shucks he was brave and committed on defense for a little guy! Always be #1 fullback in my book! Cheers for the memories cully!
Wow, thanks for this old awesome game. If you have the other games from 1996 please upload those also, would love to watch those games. This was the rugby I grew to love.
Brilliant. 95 and the World Cup, a Clint Eastwood movie, and the All Blacks poisoned, and South Africa needed this win, the Country on the edge, turmoil in the streets, rugby World Cup nearly cancelled. Fabulous games...and South Africa the Nation takes a breath. So the remarkable All Blacks return in 96 and wipe the Boks off the paddock. Stunning....well, won the series 2 to 1.
If not, it’s right up there. Just so much history on the line and we just made it. But as Ireland showed the ABs on the weekend, there is going to be a lot more firsts as rugby knowledge and skill grows around the world, and in the end it’s just really great for the game we all love.
Could you please upload the All Blacks vs South Africa game at Edenpark in 1997, would love to watch that match again lifelong All Black supporter from South Africa
I was at the game as a young kiwi school boy with Southland Boys touring that year. I got all the abs to sign my touring top, underneath the stadium after that game!
Crikey the All Blacks beat us 4 games in a row in 96! Boks looked completely different from 95! Stranksy missing loads of kicks which made a difference in the end! But all in all the All Blacks were stronger than us in 96!
I won loads of money on AB’s v Boks tests straight after the 95 food poisoning travesty. The outrageously awesome AB’s had to be spiked for the Boks to get that phony RWC win and once you knew that, you could bet on the mighty AB’s with full confidence. Didn’t make up for the 95 rip-off but, it helped.
@@wezvandez ....Along with Jeff Wilson, the rest of that AB's squad, including medical staff and also Rory Steyn, who was head of security for Nelson Mandela. Funny that huh, all these people who have infinitely more credibility than random Saffas, who will happily eat any plate of poo daubed tales, as long as it makes them think they took an honest win. When the facts are on my side, the decision to self delude is yours and you've made it.
@@biggest23 Rory Steyn 😂 the guy no one in South Africa has heard of and then tours NZ telling his story…good on Rory for finding a way to make an extra buck in these tough times ✊
@@wezvandez ......The head of security for the president of South Africa during the 95RWC is someone you've never heard of huh and the circle you stumble around in is full of equally empty heads regarding this matter? Wow, you're a fellow that sounds like a really well informed guy. In fact, sounds like your brain cupboard has more than sufficient room for any old BS to be delivered and stacked by BS manufacturers, saving you the trouble of having to deal with any inconvenient reality that might tarnish the delusion that the Boks were able to beat the Mighty AB's honestly. You have to deny the testimony of all those people that were there at the time, along with ignoring the AB's that were vomiting on the field, on live TV, during the final, to maintain the flimsy facade that the Boks honestly won that test. Me, I need add nor subtract anything to this event to reveal it fully. The delusion needs to be actively maintained by consciously dishonest saffas and sure enough, they stick to the self deception and public deceit. It was never your victory and every honest rugby head from those days, knows full well when they hear saffas claiming it as a win, they're listening to a fellow of low character.
At 52 minutes, after the South Africa 12 has just neck-rolled Frank Bunce into touch. The commentator: 'in his third test he isn't going to be bullied by Frank Bunce - maybe we need more like him in the side'.
These guys were the best of that era, can't take anything away from them, but compared to today's athletes they are very small. Take the midfield for example, Little & Bunce are 76kg & 85kg respectively, Quin Tupaea is 102kg and Reiko Ioane is 105kg, Sevu Reece is considered small by today's standards but he weighs in at 98kg. Size does matter.
Crazy to see how the rules have changed. Always wondering when I watch old matches, will the current game fck the old game up or not? If the current springboks play that old blacks team, what will happen. Know it is a unfair comparison. Would be interesting
Hard to imagine how the team in green won the World Cup just a year before. Defence not strong, good attacking opportunities lost Was there team missing some key players?? Had someone given them food poisoning?
What Afrikaner arrogance?? When one labels another as arrogant from watching something which happened almost 20 years ago the arrogance seems to be on the opposite end my friend, sour comment to an great old rugby game, unnecessary stupid comment ...
@@waynebarnard347 I remember well, listening to some of the comments coming out of S.A regarding what the Boks were going to do with the AB's. I have a long memory my friend, and a sharp one too. Intimidation is one thing, but some voicings were nothing short of blatant and unmitigated arrogance. I am sorry if my comment angered you, but my words are true. Your Mark Keohane has the same 'stamp' as those who were so rude all those years ago. A pity, but there it is.
@@KernowekTim Let it go dude why dig up that shit for. People get hyped for the game they will say whatever, but its the win that counts. Sit your ass down and shut up...
People can be arrogant. Don’t label Afrikaners as arrogant. Afrikaners are some of the most hospitable and kind people around, more so than many Kiwis.

I'd take a world cup any day lol
Thanks for posting this. Great to see some All Black legends in their prime.
And it was the last tour/series in SA, so it was their last chance to achieve it
This rivalry is unreal. War on the field, respect and decency off it. That’s the way this awesome game should be played.

The best ever. And I remember watching JPR, Blanco, Irvine and Hastings
I've seen him smoke a SAFFA prop about 30 meters out from scoring and Cully came across like a silver bullet and smoked him
Remember watching this game live at the Happy Tav in Havelock North back in 96, the good old days
No7 in black was the glassie last time I was in there …
Love this stuff! Im a Kiwi but sick of "so called classic games" that are 3 years old? Lol
Wow, thanks for this old awesome game. If you have the other games from 1996 please upload those also, would love to watch those games. This was the rugby I grew to love.
Love these classic matches uploads!
More classic games please (20+ years)
Where is matt Damon?
wrong year.
That was a stacked ABs team

Cheats never prosper. All blacks the true winners and kings of rugby. Sa should live in shame....
"we will win at any cost!" Nelson Mandela
A great game . I prefer these teams to the current team who are all 'look at me ,look at me ' personalities .
To me the best rugby is good attacking
Im Switzerland neither SA or NZ but I have to say I just love the ABs attack speed and diversity
I love these videos they are just so good all of them
Now the game has been ruined by video officials and continuous stoppages
You could argue this is the greatest test of all time

I still remember this game as a kid.
Just loved the little Frenchman pushing and shoving the front rows around. 😜
the true champions
I was at the game as a young kiwi school boy with Southland Boys touring that year. I got all the abs to sign my touring top, underneath the stadium after that game!
Too many nothing kicks from both teams except for Jeff Wilson' chip over the top
Should release these jerseys again... i like the steinlager logo on the jersey
I'd buy one in a heart beat.
@@yingle6027 yeah they look fantastic, beats the AIG logo
@@TC-sm8rc Plus the cotton loose fit with a collar. The modern plastic jerseys just aren't my style.
Bro I bought one of those versions back during that era. It's far superior to the tour de france versions most teams use nowadays
Tc bro I got one just before they went to south Africa in 1996 still got it and it looks way better than the current jumpers 🖒🖒👌👌
Don’t think I’ve ever heard such an enthusiastic crowd
Surely we get some of the Māori All Blacks games too!
History makers..
The incomparables 🏉
13:59 massive forward pass.
I remember it well.
You almost forget that test rugby was played during the day.
Zinzan the man. Awesome game.

Reffing was abysmal compared to today. And today's reffs can have shockers
Shoutout to all the Kiwi Lads in live chat
Good game ,,,both sides
Brooks pass a metre forward to jones
I love seeing Mark Andrews get up in disgust 😂
Love rugby
A tad too many (& brutal) commercial breaks... 4 in less than 13 min... this is worse than television... a shame...
At 52 minutes, after the South Africa 12 has just neck-rolled Frank Bunce into touch. The commentator: 'in his third test he isn't going to be bullied by Frank Bunce - maybe we need more like him in the side'.
All Blacks finally avenged 1937.
No Lomu?
Would love this AB team play the 2015 RWC winning team. Who would win?
These guys were the best of that era, can't take anything away from them, but compared to today's athletes they are very small.
Take the midfield for example, Little & Bunce are 76kg & 85kg respectively, Quin Tupaea is 102kg and Reiko Ioane is 105kg,

Size does matter.
check out the SA player eye gouging 9:30
JvdH was definitely the Bok’s engine room
What a test match
Marshy would've gone down in history as the best ever halfback if he hadn't torn his archilles tendon in 1998.
Not with his passing game
@@St_AngusYoung what passing game?
Playing on

Bledisloe cup game 1 from Wellington 1996 would be better.
Was sitting in the open of the famous Millard Stand for that game. A truly classic test.
@@Sulu-sw3zo you were taking your life in your hands there mate
@@St_AngusYoung lol it was atrocious weather, but the rugby was glorious. Nothing beats seeing some of the AB legends like Lomu in their prime.
Lineouts used to look so shit lol
😂
The Boks were a rabble in 96 let's be honest
Kiwi, Kiwi, Kiwi......
Zinny
BOOO ALL BLACKS!!!!! SOUTH AFRICA IS THE GOAT!!!!!!
G , amazing what happens when the greatest cheats of all time send the tampered food to wrong hotel.
Abs g o a t
Afrikanner arrogance tempered for a wee while. Soundly beaten on their patch. Job done on the ropes.
