I watched this 40 years ago and most of this team came out of WP who had won the Currie Cup for a record five times under Dawie Snyman. To this day many of these players would have adapted to current professional era. Errol was a great flyhalf of this generation.
Thank you very much for posting this old test matches. In Argentina they didn't televised them and many of us wanted to watch these interesting games. Thanks again!!

Only guys older than 60 will understand, if they remember, the Rules in those days! I started when a try was 3 points, and ended at 4.... Later went to 5. How can we compare scores from olden times against today´s? I can only think of measuring a score not by the value of a try, or a goal, or a penalty, but by # of tryes, goals and penalties. If someone scored 39 points, or 10 unconverted 3 point tryes and no penalties, today that would mean 65 points......
I don´t quite buy into the "Elder btother/Younger brother" modern cliché that is circulating. Both countries had common interests! Argentina, too far away and not British in culture like AU or NZ, countries much further away, was not important, but needed good Int´l competition, and so did isolated SA. In those days Apartheid was a big issue. Political pressure forced most countries to turn their backs on the Boks, and regarding Human Rights, that was the right thing to do. But it hurt SA rugby, and those that forbid playing against them, were dying to play them! But they did not! Argentina, always unruly, spontaneous, were rather worthwhile "sufficiently" respectable opponents, the next best thing after a Tier 1 country. So, in order to stay more or less fit in body and mind, Argentina was welcome to get thrashed for the honour of playing SA. How to circumvent Int´l dictates? Make a no single nationality team, but a multinational team. Let´s add 1 good player from our neighbour countries, and call the team SUDAMERICA XV! Smart! It didn´t fool all, but many were happy, only in SA and ARG, though. I don´t know if the Uruguayan, Paraguayan, Chilean or Brasilian played in any of the Provincial matches, and nobody ever interviewed them to get their comments. Richy dixit!
The more I see Errol Tobias playing, the more I realize he was an incredible and very modern fly half.
Thanks for posting this. I always wanted to see this game but was too young at the time.

It was a great game
Brilliant footage, I dont suppose you (or anyone ese reading has the match from 1982 where Porta scores all the points beating the Boks?
My understanding is that the Argentine government would not allow the Pumas to play against SA so it was a way around that.
Good Fotage

The Argentine rugby team could not officially play any game against South Africa due to the policy of the aparheid in that country.
