Today there would be seven hours of TMO 6 Red Cards and 11 Yellows for a game like this

Every "most violent" match video is South Africa vs someone else.

[Matt_Alaric]

Fights are all good fun, but gouging another player on the floor is one of the dirtiest things a player can do, and Schalke should have seen red.

[AllstarReagan]

By any standards, now or then, that eye gouging is a straight red.

[turangatohiariki]

Old school all black's said playing the springbok's was like a 80 minute's of fighting after the game felt like they just finished a fight 😂😂😂

[Dan-lgbs]

I’m English but I admire the Boks they come for nothing but an absolute battle every single time and we give it to them, all be it we usally lose but it’s always entertaining. Proper blokes play this game no doubt about that.

A man cannot tarnish his whole legacy with one action:
O'Gara: Hold my beer

[jazzflute]

Massive difference between hard and just plain dirty.

How the referee saw someone gouging someone’s eyes, and thought it was worthy of only a yellow, is beyond me. That aside though, this is one of my favourite rugby matches, and series. Back when rugby was rugby, before they took power and strength away from the game. There would be about 7 red cards if this game was played today.

Sat in the stands in Pretoria watching the game with a gigantic drunken Boks fan to one side of me and an equally huge and similarly sloshed Irishman on the other; during the final penalty neither could watch and asked me for a commentary. Awesome game and still fantastic to watch the replay!

[ryanhenry]

What a game. Both sides are tough as nails

[bjnwright]

That opening segment is going to give me nightmares - imagine having Victor Mattfield just casually stalking you. Such a unit

[Badseed]

I was there! Tickets to this match was a birthday gift from my father. I remember watching Morne Steyn's kick traveling, it felt like an eternity, but when that North stand at Loftus started cheering even before we could see it sail through, the crowd erupted. One of my all time favourite memories.

[breathe_asy]

Fourie's try one of the best ever for me. The sheer power he had was a symbol of SA rugby. England's envy over Springbok strength has given me much satisfaction over the years

[zwakelemgabhi]

Bring tears to my eyes watching, the drama of sport cant be recreated anywhere

[rsacitizen]

The most violent is the springboks vs the Irish in 1997 even Gary Tiechmann was involved in a brawl

[breconjordan]

The eye gouge should have been a permanent ban from playing rugby in any way. Disgusting behaviour and definitely should be punished more toughly!

[schnozz]

About 20 red cards in this game by today's standards 😂 glad i got to watch this series before the game started to deteriorate...

[chrisk]

Oh the good old days when we still had people who can kick a ball

[nardusvisser]

0:28 Matfield will drop O’Driscoll any day of the week, with some change to spare..
