The game was amateur back then so it was pretty easy to have the game on free to air television. Even in South Africa it used to be on free to air until 1996 when professionalism emerged.
@@theultimatesharpshooter6734 And it ruined the sport. The smart thing was to have allowed semi-professionalism, meaning top players could be sponsored by advertisers, but not paid to play directly. Most would have had to keep their day jobs, but the top players would have been working as advertising promoters.

All Blacks at the end of a long tour of Australia and South Africa. Their players having to adapt to playing at altitude for the first time. They dominated the game and it was only in the last few minutes that the score closed up.
the boks were outplayed for most of the game, suspect the AB's took the foot off the gas in the last 10 & fatigue from altitute took its till, to their credit the boks scored 2 late tries to flatter the scoreline
I was at Ellispark that day, I was 7. My dad took me. He past away a week ago. Precious memories. Also, this ref didn't give South Africa anything in the first 60mins of the game. He was appalling 😅
If you knew anything about the game kaffa you would have realised the box were doing everything they could to stop the blacks by any foul means they could get away with of which there was plenty
@@thesmithersythey weren't supposed to sing anthems on the day, but a last second bit of naughtiness caused quite a fall out in South Africa at the time.
Nah i doubt it mate. I actually remember the springbok coach at the time saying the all blacks would beat them, and don't forget it was held in nz too. Simply out of internationals for too long at that point as this match showed.
The bias against SA is astounding, and this was a close game. Yup, an Aussie ref. handed the win to the mighty all blacks, and yeah, it was going to repeat itself many times in the future!
Handed them the win? You must be South African🙄 illegal lifting in the line outs. Collapsing mauls. Constant infringing through out the game. I'm surprised you didn't bring up Bryce Lawrence
And that my bok friends is why you wouldn’t have won the 87 or 91 WCs - we beat you in Ellis park and the wallabies were better than us at that stage 😊
Took you 24 YEARS to win your 2nd World Cup. So you can not say that the boks would not have won the 87 and 91 World cups. They probably could have. The fact of the matter is that the all blacks just are not that good anymore. They are not that feared team anymore.
They actually showed non-wallaby games live on free to air in Australia? Wow, how far the game has dwindled over there.

And therefor plenty of room for the backs, because the forwards were having it out in rucks and mauls.
First test in ages and only a 3 point margin? That's very impressive by the Springboks.

Then the Boks started losing by 20 when they got more experience
Gerber the best centre in world rugby,,, Also hee s the GOAT of South Africa,,,
James Smalls' international debut?
Yep
And a great one. If it wasn’t for the knocked forward ball, he would have been one of the best players of the game.
This match even has its own Wikipedia page
1988 England v Australia and 1990 Scotland v All Blacks both tests.
Inga and Ice 🖤🏉👌
check 1.48.13 when Zinny got injured. Man that SA Hooker just came in and Kneed Zinny in the back on purpose. They were ruthless back then eh hehe

Thought the five point try came into play in 1993.
This was the last game of a full tour of Australia then i think 5games in sa.thete heads were already going home and still beat sa😂😂😂😂😂
1:34:51 When you have a geriatric reffing they are likely to miss these obvious infringements 🥴
@herisecooper4404,,, I will say itt with no worry,s SA would take the WC in 1987 we had a super backline,,, maybe 1991 to
