I was at the North Harbour game, when Dean Richards "rucked" Bunce's head open.
We met a guy and his wife in a bar after that game who put 10 of us up, including dinner, breakfast, lift to the game(shared between his neighbours) for the final test. Incredible memories

Brutal 'rucking'. Kiwi refs really didn't give a toss on that tour did they.
There'd be multiple law suits for that lot today. You can see why old guys say the game has gone soft.
And that isn't even that long ago... Go back another 30 years... was it even worse?
Definitely in France.

So thjnking that 80 minutes of dubious entertainment, is not really worth peoples brains being mushed and them occupying wards for 79 year olds..is now woke?
The human cost of Rugby isn't worth it, but hey glad the heavy impacts (even knowing what we know now)still gets you all off.

Yay.

I thought most people are saying how much cleaner the game is now? Even if we still aren't happy... it shows how far we have come even in the last 20 years... and how far we will get to in the next 20?
