[QUOTE="Klarkash-ton, post: 153744"] Overall, well said. But as far as I recall the penalty in 1981 was perfectly justified. Claasen earlier had unjustly accused Knight of 'diving' into a flour bomb, and when, thinking time was up on the clock, he called Doug Rollersons haircut 'girly' the ref had had enough and penalised him on the spot. Rollerson of course had not heard about chokers yet and slotted the penalty from long range. The ref was the time keeper in those days and had stopped the clock earlier, so the NZ team could return fire at the low flying Cessna. The TV timekeeper was unaware of this, as he was taking cover at the time. The pilot of the Cessna was a BOSS operative (would that have been NIS by then?) pretending to be a Kiwi anti-apartheid protester, but obviously he was only targeting All Black players. His pathetic attempts at a kiwi accent are exposed in this interview: [url="http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/node/2454"]http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/node/2454[/url] edit: sorry that link doesn't seem to work. I got it from the link below, so I have no idea why. more information about these incredible match is here: [url="http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/video/the-third-test-auckland"]http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/video/th...d-test-auckland[/url] Salute! sorry forgot to mention, as you know the only S14 game that mattered this year with the Hurricanes- Bulls match. forget the rest :) [/QUOTE]
