Only 23 views!!!? People don't know what they're missing. Excellent match; enjoyed it. Auckland had an awesome team with the likes of Fritzy, Foxy, Kierwan(sp), and Zinzan all future or current AB. I think the Lions did too much kicking in the 2nd 40, plus I think they missed Hastings who is better at making decisions. Thanks for the upload! Cheers from the USA
Whoa, calm down about the views. A large number of views are coming a lill slowly. By halfway next month, there should be a 100 views on my videos. The British and Irish Lions matches against the ABs get 100 of views really quick. Thanks for watching. I'm American too. I got more coming up including the Pumas match against the ABs in 1979 when a Argentine fly half put on a show.
Da Undaground Mane Great, I am enjoying all of these older matches, especially comparing them with todays matches. It seems to me that there was less mucking around when it comes to the set pieces, the scrums basically set themselves up with hardly any waste of time and annoying resets like todays matches. Do not understand why they changed it, if its not broken why fix it? Thanks for the uploads its appreciated! Cheers
Forgot to add. I channelled Brian Moore here, a few years later when playing. The opposition #7 had been throwing fists, boots and elbows all match and early in the 2nd half tried to take our scrum half out with a forearm. The ref, who'd done nothing about it all match, turned a blind eye so I took the forwards to one side as pack leader and said, "I don't care what happens now, the next time he goes to ground he gets it... I want him to receive the biggest shoeing he's ever had." 2 minutes later he went to ground at a ruck... and he got the biggest kicking I've ever seen. All 8 of us stuck the boot in on his back and legs, even after the ball had he was still getting it. Strangely, he was very quiet after that except his huge whinge to the ref... who didn't see anything.
Hastings went off at half time for pulling a hammy and Will Carling - who was completely out of form and low on confidence - was brought off the bench and put out of position at full back. He then had an absolute nightmare of a game - probably his worst ever. Dropping balls, knocking on, being completely out of position when Auckland kicked.
both teams have the ball for 4 seconds then make a mistake they'd get destroyed by a club team in 2023 Shane howarth 82kg lol, he'd get fended off so easily these days

#7 was the annointed one Michael 'No Sundays' Jones
The Mighty Auckland machine...Legendary

Key moment, at 36:30 - if they had scored then, it would have been tough for Auckland to come back.
Rob Andrews had a magnificent match while Lee Stenssness very impressive.
Gotta love the cyclops' who're commentating.
52:35 Underwood absolutely slaughtering JK for pace. He would do exactly the same a week later with the ball in the second test.
25:48 yaen Evans aka Bruce Willis 😂
was that ref a x Auckland player??????????
Auckland Auckland Auckland Auckland Auckland Auckland Lions missed big Wade Doley
Grant Fox was poor in this game. Both tactical kicking and running game was sub- standard. But Kirwin what a player!
sir john who lol

Typical fox doesn't want to run it so he passes to the closest person to crash it which happens to be the halfback lol
