Way before that tour Moz.
I’m glad you didn’t call 1986 an ABs tour like your commentators of the time did...

When rugby was dominated by forwards, the Boks were the better team.
However, nowadays the rules suit the All Blacks more, especially given they have raided the best talent of the other Pacific Islands- particularly the backs.
This has been an ongoing process that has stolen the rugby birthright of these countries, as nowadays it is even second generation descendants who are playing for New Zealand teams. Sure they were born in New Zealand, but their heritage was stolen from all the Pacific Islands as a feeder system.
If we had more talent in neighbouring countries we could have done the same.

A thread about the best tale SA people on this board should be made. Because there is talent out there and this one would run a contender.
So second generation players should not be allowed to play for their country, this coming from SA rugby that has failed big time to train one single half decent player from the native population.
This does not stop here: SA rugby, in order to cover their massive failure, import non white players from abroad. One is from ZI, another from GH, another from CO. SA rugby to make it for their shortcomings, get players who are not even born in SA.
The tale. The tale. SA people on this board love their tale. And this one is good, excellent. Deserves a round of applause.
