Enjoyed the comments which reflect the rivalry. As a ten year old I remember watching the Springboks play their first game in 1965 against our small province (Poverty Bay). We scored first with a penalty and were euphoric. Fulltime and it was a million points to 3. South Africa were undoubtedly the 'world champions' prior to the actual World Cup era. They regularly beat NZ in NZ, beat us four nil in the 1949 test series and it wasn't until1956 that we finally won a test series against them and 1996 when SA were beaten in a series in SA. Intimidation has always been a huge part of the Springbok game. In 1970, the legendary lock Frik du Preez punched our halfback Chris Laidlaw semi conscious and in 1976 van Heerden (?) used Pole Whiting's head as a trampoline requiring multiple stitches. In 1970, Fergie Mc Cormick stiff-armed winger Syd Nomis who lost a couple of teeth. (The SA ref was a dentist!) I could go on but for me, these memories background the beautiful rivalry today.

I think the rivalry was well shaped long before these 15 moments. They may have fuelled the fire but our fathers told us stories of AB’s vs Boks before isolation. These 15 moments only contributed to it.

That 1995 World Cup is one of the Greatest Sporting Event ever, it truly made Rugby establish as a spectacular sport for global audience

[Andre.B]

Great rivalry between two good teams. They play hard on the field but lot of these guys are actually good mates of the field too.

Jantjies drop goal could be the next admission to this list. Or Am's back pass.

You guys (both bok and ab supporters) should see the vid when Jonah visits Joost when joost was very ill. Both heart warming and heart breaking at the same time RIP to them. Much aroha from Aotearoa ake ake kia kaha 💪

[Wessie-fk]

Thanks for good memories brother. As a South African it's good to know it's not just us that appreciate the Boks. Much love

[dhirshg]

Great vid but many amazing moments were missed: Boks Durban win 1998; ABs Soweto win 2010; The 1996 series; ALL the old series pre-1991; Habana's try 2012; Bronze medal world cup game 1999; 46-40 Bok win 2000...too many actually.

I like that it's not chronological, gives you a heavy sense of history...

Nice… my moment was the Richard Bands try - just loved it.

[jonathandavis]

Some of the Top 15 moments, but missed a lot of other better moments. Chose to show the las min victory in PTA from NZ, but not the last min victory from the Boks in Wellington that year, the Wellington victory actually makes the PTA victory by NZ more special. Just one example.

We only care about the Springboks vs the All Blacks. No one else matters.

[jesussaves]

You forgot the first ever kapa o pango haka performed against the springboks

[glen]

That Ricky Januarie try was one of the greatest Bok tries ever, I lost my voice when that happened.

[Rodz-vgel]

Great moments, thanks for the great clips

[blairansellfraser]

Anyone notice how only the NZ commentators were excited about the opposition showing skills and scoring

[interestedbystander]

Nice video, but I can't help thinking it's a little AB-slanted (generally about good ABs and thuggish Boks).

The '81 tour, as a 10 year old, i watched it unfold with dad, and it still lingers in the memory like it was yesterday, protests, riots, tear gas, a light aircraft dropping flour bombs on to Eden Park in the deciding third test, decking All Black prop Gary Knight, a mid week clash against Waikato cancelled after protesters invaded Rugby Park, Hamilton, scattering drawing pins, tacks and nails all over the field, oh, and Allan Hewson kicked a last minute, long range penalty to win that 3rd test 25-22, clinching the series 2-1, when I think of the rivalry between these two rugby mad nations, 1981 stands tall above other epic encounters....

Much love and respect for the All Blacks. If you want to be no 1. You have to beat no.1. Respect from South Africa.
