@mikedogz Cheers for posting that, I was at that game ... the girls we were with (from the local Catholic school) wouldn't shut up about how hot Marc Ellis was.
I hope you enjoyed a bit of second hand success on the back of it?
@taniwharugby Why are you @ing me when mostly discussing Manawatu players. 
But agreed - moe mai rai Jared and Norm.
@taniwharugby not too many people gas Christian Cullen on the outside..Joe Mafileo has story to tell his grandchildren, from what I have heard chatting to some individuals that played in that game..Cullen had not come across the very little known Mafileo, but having seen him run around in North Harbour club in the mid nineties..I knew he could shift..,Cullen in most cases would show the player the outside knowing he had the pace to rope him in..problem was Mafileo possessed stunning pace over the first 30 metres.

Watching these videos, rugby was at its absolute pinnacle in the late 90s
Which is why it's so annoying that for all but 2.5 years of the 90s we were fucking shit.

Any relation of the THP?

Not to denigrate the great man, but boy was there some shoddy tackling technique in there! The prop and the winger in particular

Some rare provincial footage of Jonah.
I watched that this morning.
Some hideous jerseys on display.
I love the way some of the tackle attempts were half hearted as players were in two minds whether to have a go or get steamrolled.
