Channel 10 should make a bid for the rights. I'm not sure if it comes as a package deal with the other events on the Series and Total Rugby, but that would be a bonus. Might help me coax a few of my mates into coming up with me.

Their run will last until they meet Wellington I feel as they'll top the Championship and their fixture contains only 1 more cross over game at home for the remainder of the season.

Ihaia West ... Wow! The boy's going to be something special.

Throw in Tim Nanai Williams and Tom Marshall with Tawera Kerr Barlow and our backline looks phenomenal.

Only potential hiccup with this is that it would have to be held at AAMI Park and i'm fairly sure the A league season would have kicked off by that point, but surely it wouldn't be much of a problem.

Both Tests against the Boks in that year were absolute rippers. I'll never forget Percy Montgomery's fluke of a try at Eden Park. It had me stunned for a while.

For me it's purely due to the fact that there's no touring from either side anymore. It's bloody easy to get amped for a Boks v Blacks test, but 3 tough tests and touring against strong provincials teams would be perfect. Obviously you can't change the way things are, but the rivalry has...

*cough* Melbourne *cough*

It's still a relatively raw wound if you talk to certain people about it and I couldn't imagine how things could be for South Africans, so personally I tried to keep Politics and Rugby apart here. My late Grandfather was at the match and up until I last spoke to him he felt the right result...

This is pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks very much mate.

Found another video that will probably give you a closer insight into the rivalry. It was made around the same time from the looks of it and again takes a kiwi's perspective.

It's a good one ey. I made an effort a few years ago to try and piece together a chronological history of South African International and Domestic Rugger, but I just found myself running around in circles. As for a South African version of the doco i'm sure there would be something similar...

This Doco might give you a better look into the rivalry over the years from an outsiders view.

Personally for me I grew up on the stories of my father and his brothers and uncles from the other side of the family either playing in or watching midweek games against the Boks in the 50's, 60's and 70's and also blowing their monthly pay packets to get tickets at Eden Park for the test match...

What a classic! Not bitter or upset about dropping that one in the slightest. I've spent a bit of my life down south and those wonderful people have been starved of the log for far too long. Congratulations lads and let's hope the crowds swell at Forsyth for you from now on in and that it...

A far better start than I expected. Sitting 26th overall at this point and there are only 15-20 points between there and the top so i'll have to really keep on top of things now. A few forced changes have been made, but unless needed to again change things up when the teams are announced i'm...

As previously stated i'm a fan of both of the aforementioned jerseys, but after Sunday I feel the best place for either would be framed and on the pool room wall. Stoked to have just gotten over the Taniwha on Satdee and with the Speights Spartans making the trek up North for another Shield...

Only a small group of people have joined the league. It will be interesting to see how things work out with so little people. Tipping myself to finish at or near the bottom of the log. ;)

You've hit the motherload there mate. Enjoy your weekend in front of the TV.

I've been living in Australia for the past 5 years so I either watch when televised or via streamed on the internet.
