About Me
I started my collection of rugby pictures, book, video tapes and recordings in 1970. As I grew older I wanted to know more about the tours of yesteryear and the old heroes. I wanted a objective view and not hero worship so I started to collect and read about the history of SA rugby. Fortunatly there were people like Maxwell Price, Terry McLean, Rex Sweet, AC Parker, Chris Greyvenstein, Gabriel David, Mark Nicholls and Winston McCarthy who recorded the history as it happened and whose reading have provided me with many hours of joy. This website is essentially my personal collection in electronic format with some written commentary of information about matches and players. Were possible I add video material of tries and incidents. The website is of course a hobby and not my full time job so its a work in progress. I live in New Zealand but have an undying connection with home through a family history spanning back to 1691 when the first of our clan settled in Africa. All my family still lives in South Africa including some ex-Springbok cousins. Post a CommentOops!The words you entered did not match the given text. Please try again. 7 Comments
Magnificent website. There seems to be a lot of kiwi members for a South African topic?
Cheers mate,
So it is 1986 for the Cavaliers 1994 score should read 2 wins for NZ and a draw 1996 should read 2 wins for NZ and 1 win for SA
Hi mate,
Hope you don't mind the change of my profile name! I just noticed on the home page a couple of errors - Cavaliers Tour should be dated 1986 - if it had been 1984 the result may have been different. Also, the 1994 result should read 2 -0 to NZ with 1 draw. Cheers, Mike
Please can we also have a "Bring back tours" thread?
Thanks. Mike
Hi man,

Just by good luck I found this site and I must say ABSOLUTLY GREAT. Wonderful to read about the tours of yestertyear and I enjoy going on the site. What about the 1974 Lions tour to SA. Where can I find more about the tour and all the results.
great site... I knew it by Laurent... another member. Very interesting at least. I was searching this sort of posts, I am fond of History and rugby history. Thanks for the "McBook"... and hope you will excuse my poor english, but hey, I am a "froggy" and pommies aren't our best friends... LOL
