[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 191117"] A try also used to be 3 points. The Afrikaners still called a try a 'drie', which means three in English. I've got some very old rugby documentaries on a few VHS cassettes (the tape was recorded in the early nineties) with footage from a game in the mid 1950's, SA vs Scotland I think. And it was nuts back then lol. The crowd is basically on the pitch, players have wack numbers on their backs like a no. 31 and like you said, very open. Knock ons were common, VERY common. I personally enjoy watching games from the 1980's. If you can get a Bok vs All Blacks from that era, DO IT! ***anic battles, especially that controversial Bok tour to NZ in the early-mid 1980's (Can't remember the exact year) After watching all these vids two things stood out for me 1) Rugby has changed alot (did I hear someone say ELV's?) 2) Danie Gerber had some of the best running lines EVER, and was damn quick for a white man, maybe the quickest player in the world in his prime. Eat that melon! A try also used to be 3 points. The Afrikaners still called a try a 'drie', which means three in English. I've got some very old rugby documentaries on a few VHS cassettes (the tape was recorded in the early nineties) with footage from a game in the mid 1950's, SA vs Scotland I think. And it was nuts back then lol. The crowd is basically on the pitch, players have wack numbers on their backs like a no. 31 and like you said, very open. Knock ons were common, VERY common. I personally enjoy watching games from the 1980's. If you can get a Bok vs All Blacks from that era, DO IT! ***anic battles, especially that controversial Bok tour to NZ in the early-mid 1980's (Can't remember the exact year) After watching all these vids two things stood out for me 1) Rugby has changed alot (did I hear someone say ELV's?) 2) Danie Gerber had some of the best running lines EVER, and was damn quick for a white man, maybe the quickest player in the world in his prime.
