- Transvaal was on top of the world in 1993. The won the M-Net Nite Series, Super 10, Lion Cup and Currie Cup that year. Arguably the greatest season ever by a South African side.
Francois Pienaar's men dominated the Super 10 series and easily won all four of their pool game before hosting the mighty Auckland side in the final at Ellispark.
It was a tight contest and Auckland nearly snatched victory at the end, but two tries by legendary Springbok hooker Uli Schmidt sealed the game for Transvaal.
It's amazing to see how low key the whole event was. In 1993 the Currie Cup was still more important than the Super 10 title, but it was still a landmark moment in Golden Lions rugby history.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!
Awesome game. I love Fitzpatrick's interview at the end = "no excuses".
23:57 Uli Schmidt is everywhere - great tackle - stopped dead.
Thanks so much for uploading this. Great game. Aah those were the days - when Auckland could make a cup final. Good luck for the final this weekend.
And South African teams were competitive. No more.

The magic of Uli Schmidt 😁

Warren Kent Thanks for the support Warren, much appreciated. You'd be amazed when you see our archive... There are lots more on the way, so stay subscribed!
Lekker - looking forward to it!
At the time I have little doubt Auckland was the best rugby team in the world club or test and for transvaal to beat them shows what a phenomenal side they were and coached by the great kitch Christie.
Awesome rugby....remember people that rugby back then was still "officially" amateur . Most of these guys still had day jobs
Awesome!! Thanks for posting
Lord the game was frenetic back in the day.
Unfortunately now the game is ref/TMO. Sad but true. 😢
Brilliant. Far better than today's sterile game.
Awesome video thanks real rugby! Do you have more from transvaal in 1993? Loved golden years
Martyn Becker Yes we do Martyn. Go check out our other videos, you will find a tribute to the golden years of Lions rugby. Thanks for the support!
Incredible how SUPER rugby was completely mismanaged. When you had only 10 teams, all the internationals were crammed in fewer teams, It was almost test level in some games. I made a point to watch it when I lived in the UK. They watered down the product by stupid over expansion.
Great match. But I think the try-making pass at 19:01 was forward. The commentator's buildup on the subsequent conversion attempt, starting at 19:13, makes me lol. "He's had some pressure kicks. He had to do one, he had to do another, he missed this."
At least 2 metres forward.
Ek was op Ellis Park gewees met die game sal dit nooit vergeet nie
Theo v Rensburg, no BMT
awesome highlight clip - whish i could get the whole match again - my "vhs" got damaged over the years
How many vhs tapes do you have? What about a trade?

Uli Schmidt, what a legend,pity, deserves 95 world cup,and another Bok,Theo van rensburg,guess why not elected, just a very poor kicker.lost the game against France infont for the win....same year
Aussie ref clearly wearing gold jersey. Neutral refs back then aye.
Funny how the commentary changes from English to Afrikaans--gladly you can still follow the play
Scott Hornell The referee was Freek Burger, a South African
Scott Hornell Back in the day rugby was broadcasted on our public network. Rugby is still very popular among Afrikaans people, so they used to split the commentary. 20 mins of each half would be Afrikaans commentary. These days we can choose which language, English, Afrikaans or even Xhosa
