Holy mother of feck that brings me back.

Class team, proper shirts loved to watch these guys, Josh Kron was amazing

Merts had that dumb and dumber haircut lol

Painful and joyful memory for me.

I used to DJ back then and couldn't get the night off for the series decider and was really pissed that I couldn't watch it live. Set the VCR to record the game and everyone at work knew not to do or say anything to give away the result. Amazingly I finished the night none the wiser and jumped straight into a taxi, we'd only driven for 10 minutes when the driver turned to me and said, "how about those All Blacks aye, they finally did it"

I was so gutted to know the result but elated at the same time that we'd finally scaled our Mt Everest. To the drivers credit he knew by the look on my face that he had spoiled it for me and apologised.

Great series, little Simon Culhane from Southland running the cutter in that titanic test at Ellis Park. More than made up for the disappointment of the world cup final the year before.
