Gordy Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Hopefully this is the All Blacks one poor game of the season. I don’t have sky sports now, so will wait for the highlights to come up on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I used to follow the Lions tours around in NZ, lots of provincial games at provincial towns, great. That 71 Lions team was awesome, Andy Irvine, David Duckham, JPR Williams etc etc I hardly bother watching rugby these days, not sure why, perhaps it is after they went professional. Went to Massey Uni, never missed a Manawatu game, Hugo Blair, Doug Rollerson, George Hawkins Alan Innes etc Can probably name 5 in the All Blacks these days. I like Beauden Barrett though, hasn't he been mucked around, from being World player of the year 2 years in a row I think. Now if you wanted to see a great game this evening, then Panthers vs Storm was the place to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 70's my favourite player for Manawatu was Mark Donaldson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I remember my first year at high school 1969, the year Wales toured NZ. They had a training session at Waitemata park and the School let their rugby players go and watch. I managed to get Barry John’s autograph. My dad took me to Eden park for the test and of course saw Fergie kick 24 points which was a record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manawatu used to have good teams in those days, because the Massey University club used to provide so many classy players. You might recall that very good stand off Bob Burgess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngakonui grass Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I think Foster is having problems getting the team of 5million to come on the trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I think he is a watered down version of Hansen. Would love to see Scott Robertson, if not for the fact he would bring a new flair to the team. Much rather listen to him at the post match than Foster 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yes, have you heard of him, he was known as George. Awesome centre for Massey Uni and Manawatu, I think he even played for NZ Universities, but never in contention for All Black status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Amazingly Googled Massey Uni and this pic came up Rollerson, Blair and Innes are all bottom right. Hawkins would have left by then. Of interest to racing people, top middle is Carey Hobbs, who has run Taranaki racing for a while, also another from Taranaki, who a few might know, is Terry Sole, bottom, second from left uni.jfif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
